Has anyone moved states recently? How was it and why the move?

[Jonathan Farber]

I am considering a move from New York to somewhere on the southeast. Would love to hear from others who have done it.  I am single, own a few rentals in Raleigh, and grew up in Long Island.  I am completely open but like warm weather and the idea of house hacking a few more properties.  I'm thinking of starting the search based on location first, then figure out job/company in the area.  

Thanks!

7 months ago moved from Chicago to Raleigh. Move was completely life-style based, and fortunately I was young enough where the down-side was minimal, and had all the up-side. These days its unbelievably easy to pack everything up via a moving company, find a place to rent within days (even in A and B apartments/townhomes) and get movers to unpack you. Terrifying at first but, as with all things in life, feels like I could do it at the drop of a dime now.

 depends on how much stuff you have  LOL.. I still have box's from moves 20 years ago..
