How to buy a home in a different state?

My wife and I currently live in Illinois, it is our goal to move to South Carolina. We have always rented, but would like to consider buying a home once we move.

We do not have jobs secured there yet. My wife works retail and can transfer within the company. I have a small business that I started in Illinois and would like to continue when we move.

Both our credit scores are in the 700 s.

We have never owned a home, and have little knowledge of how a mortgage works.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
