Moving from New England to a Southern Market

[Matthew Wright]

My wife and I are strongly considering moving away to a warmer, more tax friendly and most importantly, more opportunity driven market.  This is no small decision, considering we have two young children and I have established myself here in Maine. I'm 29 and I've lived in the same town since birth.  However we ask ourselves why stay? Taxes are unreasonable, heat expenses are thru the roof, the snow is a pain in the butt and I'm looking for more opportunity.  When I move I'm looking to start developing my team and furthering my rental property investing, right away. I'm currently a RE agent/wholesaler/landlord investor. 

I'm going to rely heavily on feedback from anybody on here that has feedback to give about market growth, opportunity, landlord friendly state, tax friendly etc.... We are thinking either the Carolinas or Texas. Thoughts anyone? Feedback greatly appreciated.
