What to know about financing a home in Corona
Newer tracts and Mello Roos
Many Corona neighborhoods built in the last 20 years carry Mello Roos or other special taxes plus HOA dues, and both count in your qualifying payment.
Orange County commuters
Many Corona buyers work in Orange County and move inland for more space. Riverside County loan limits differ from Orange County, which can change whether you need a jumbo loan.
Hillside and fire areas
Some hillside areas carry wildfire risk that affects insurance, so get quotes early.
Real estate and financing together
Alex is also a licensed California real estate salesperson with Optimum First Inc, so Corona buyers can use him for the home search, the loan, or both. The services are separate and you are always free to choose another agent or lender.
