To make a long story short, my folks are both getting ready for retirement and have already bought a home that they rent out in Myrtle Beach, S.C. They tell me the housing market (new, remodels), are going up all over the place down there. Though my rents' know little about the electrical trade, especially the business end, they seem convinced that I could do better down there than I could in New Jersey. I disagree.

My question is this, has anyone here ever moved from the northeast (I'm in NJ) to South Carolina as an electrical contractor and done better there than here? I know there are no shortcuts to success, just curious what some of the others have experienced doing something similiar to this.
