Moving my family and REAL ESTATE investing to South Carolina

I primarily invest for CASH FLOW and have been doing so in Western IL and Eastern IA over the past 5 years. I am up to 85 rental doors and enjoying the real estate investing lifestyle.  My family and I have decided to move to the Lake Murray/Columbia area of South Carolina and have put money down on a home (so this is happening).

Can anyone offer me suggestions/thoughts/feedback on areas of South Carolina that work best (or worst) for CASH FLOW investing.  I am very unfamiliar with the market (other than it was super hard to find our home and things moved quick) and looking for any feedback, good and bad, that can tell me what is going on up to 4 hours away from the columbia area, especially as it relates to cash flow

Thanks

    @Matt Lyons I would also suggest linking up with @Andrew R. Lucas. He is the king of cola when it comes to all things real estate investing. He also has a large active community of other like-minded folks on Facebook that I would highly suggest for networking and getting to know the area. 

     Thanks @Scooter Williams!  Cash Flow is King in Columbia!  This is a great market for building cash flow through rental properties.  The market is hot here just like every where right now, but there are still deals out there.  We are getting 10 contracts a month that work for us or other investors in our network.  

    @Matt Lyons, the Facebook group is REI Live! - Columbia. Look us up and you can make some connections right away.

    I agree with the others that trying to digest everything within 4 hours would be tough.  Are you looking for a market that is similar to where you are coming from??  I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction when you are ready.
