Is there a "best" state in which to get your RE license?

Is there a "best" state in which to get your RE license?

I am considering getting my real estate license to make it easier to transact on properties I am buying for investment. I am not tied down to one particular location, so I am wondering if there is a particular state that makes it the easiest to transact in other states based on reciprocity or portability. It seems that a Nevada real estate license, for example, covers a lot of other states. Or does it only make sense to get a real estate license for one particular market that you are especially focused on?

     I would recommend first getting it in the state you currently live in or are most familiar with. Then get a license in another state of you so wish. The test is harder than you think.
