Ideal market to start in/move to east coast US

[Nikolas Chafey]

I am 22, currently live in NJ, ive amassed about 150k from investing in stocks since i was 18. I am looking to put some of that money into a property, but looking at my current home state, with the highest property taxes in the country and less than favorable conditions for running a business, I am strongly considering leaving the state. I am interested in north carolina, south carolina, and potentially florida. I would prefer sub 200k for my first purchase, but i am also willing to rent a place for a year while i save some more money and spend some time learning about the local market in person. I dont really have a specific question i am just looking for some good areas from an investors perspective. I would love to chat with any of you RE veterans or really anyone who has more experience than me who is a complete noob :)
