Does this raise any red flags for the mortgage company? 

The beauty is, YOU are in control. 

No, of course not - many red regions will outperform blue ones over the long-term.

Harris proposed tax credits for builders, cutting red tape, and a $25,000 down payment assistance for first-time buyers.

After meeting the entire team in their beautiful office I signed the deal to buy my first property.

@Amit M. what do you think of this beauty?

If I get red tagged (I think unlikely), I may reach out for guidance.   

In the next few years I may be moving back to Pittsburgh so this could be an option for me in the future.I did complete the backyard rehab project myself, where I went from a weed-ridden red cobblestone courtyard patio to a comfortable pea gravel patio with chairs, firepit, grill, string lights and life-sized games.

Are there any red flags I should watch for?

I fell in love with the Lowcountry way of life, including good food, beautiful trees with Spanish moss, and stunning golden sunsets.
