Real Estate License - Which State

[Pete Winslow]

I am taking the next step and getting my real estate license, but unsure of which state to get it in.  I know this may seem like the very first thing I should figure out, but my girlfriend is a traveling nurse.  Once she secures a full time job as a nurse practitioner we will be settling down in one spot and I will keep my license there.  In the meantime, I want to not waste any more time and get my certification started.  I currently live in Arizona, but believe I will be settling in New Hampshire/Massachusetts longer term.  

I have looked into reciprocity as well and Arizona does not directly transfer to NH, but I admittedly may need to look harder into the transfer process. 

Can anyone shed some light on what they recommend? Open to hearing all opinions.

Arizona License - 90 hours $650

New Hampshire License - 40 hours $350
