Dutch vs. Non-Dutch Loans: What’s the Difference?

When you borrow a loan, especially in real estate investing,understanding how interest is calculated can drastically impact your bottomline. This is where the Dutch loan structure comes into play, as it'svery different from the traditional (Non-Dutch) structure.

What is a Dutch Loan?

Also known as "full note" interest, a Dutchloan involves prepaying all the interest on the full loan amount, upfront ormonthly, regardless of whether the money is fully used.

🔑 Key Features:

  • Interest     is calculated on the entire loan amount from Day 1.
  • Even     if you don’t draw the full loan immediately (e.g., during a construction     project), you still pay interest on the full approved amount.
  • Often     used for rehab, construction, or bridge loans with scheduled draws.

📌 Example:

You’re approved for a $500,000 Dutch loan.

  • In     Month 1, you only draw $200,000.
  • You     still pay interest as if you’ve drawn the full $500,000.

✅ Pros:

  • Predictable     monthly payments.
  • Easier     for lenders to underwrite.
  • Good     for investors who expect to use the full loan quickly.

❌ Cons:

  • You     pay interest on money you haven’t used yet.
  • Can     reduce your cash flow in early project phases.

 

What is a Non-Dutch Loan?

Also known as “drawn balance” interest, a Non-Dutchloan charges you only on the funds you actually draw.

🔑 Key Features:

  • Interest     is calculated only on the disbursed amount.
  • As     more of the loan is drawn (e.g., for stages of a rehab or new     construction), interest increases proportionally.
  • Offers     more flexible, cost-effective structuring for staged projects.

📌 Example:

You're approved for a $500,000 Non-Dutch loan.

  • In     Month 1, you draw $200,000.
  • You     only pay interest on that $200,000—not the full $500,000.

✅ Pros:

  • You     save money by not paying interest on unused funds.
  • Better     for long, phased projects where funds are needed over time.

❌ Cons:

  • Payments     increase as you draw more funds.
  • Less     predictable, which could make budgeting slightly more complex.

Which One Should You Choose?

  • Choose     a Dutch loan if:
        You’ll use the full loan quickly, want predictable payments,     or need fast approval.
  • Choose     a Non-Dutch loan if:
        Your project involves multiple phases, you want to save on     interest early on, or you're being conservative with capital usage.
