 2029$1,263 $386 Debt Issuance CostsDebt issuance costs, which include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, are amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Unamortized debt issuance costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date. Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the respective debt liability, consistent with the treatment of debt discounts, except for the debt issuance costs related to the unsecured credit facility which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.Investment in Joint VenturesInvestment in joint ventures represents a noncontrolling equity interest in joint venture arrangements. We have determined to account for our investment in the joint ventures under the equity method of accounting, as we do not have a majority voting interest, operational control or financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and variable interest entities ("VIEs").

Differences between our carrying value of our investment in the joint ventures and our underlying equity in such joint ventures are amortized and included as an adjustment to our equity in income (loss) or recognized, either in whole or in part, during the period that real estate assets are sold from the Joint Venture.We account for our interests in the Joint Ventures using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. Under this method, we record our Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Ventures based on our proportionate share of the Joint Venture's earnings based on our ownership interest, after giving effect to incentive fees which we are entitled to receive.
