We moved to another state, for all of 3 days...but that's another story.
The best advice I can offer is:
1. If you're not moving on a job transfer, research the local job market, get in touch with some staffing firms, or send out a type of "cold call" resume to companies that need what you do or have had recent employment ads running.
2. Look into real estate before you go, locations, prices, school districts, anything you might need to review based on your ideas of what makes a good home location.
3. If you're going to rent familiarize yourself with what's out there, a lot of places have on-line rental listings with pictures, descriptions, neighborhood info, etc.
4. If you have kids you need to check into school districts, registration dates, check out the PTO sites to see what other parents in the district think of the school, teachers and policies.
5. Also, if you have kids it's a good idea to check out daycare availability in different areas, you'd be surprised but in some cases the closest day care is a good 20 miles away.
6. Also, insurance rates are different everywhere, look into rates and providers of all the different types of insurance you normally hold policies for.
...hope this provides a place to start I know that moving out of state is a huge hassle...so most importantly VISIT THIS NEW PLACE FIRST!!! I can not stress this enough, spend a few weeks to get a good idea of what it would be like to live there as opposed to just visiting.

Send someone "in" to investigate...........first. Contact the city government office for brochures and information on jobs, homes, apts, and or jobs and for children - schools. Additionally, you might ask neighbors and friends if they know anyone who might be from the area in which you want to move,,,,word of mouth is better. I moved from Detroit to Los Angeles some years ago. Sold everything I owned, had a friend secure an apartment for me in Inglewood, bought a map and rolled on! I had friends there who were a great help. You need someone to 'spy out the land' first. What's the job market is like.

The first you need to do is find more info about the state, you also need to find out which city you would like to live in, also you need to contact sales person for your house unless you want to live in an apartment.
