If you buy property, sign a lease agreement, or gain employment in that state, you're considered to have started your residence of that state of that point. You're supposed to switch your licence over within a certain time frame (usually 30 days) of that point, but it's often not the most strictly enforced law. But if you've done something to establish residence prior to changing your licence and vehicle registration over, then your time as a resident of that state begins at that point. Which is why I'm able to pay in-state tuition here in Colorado, even though I didn't change my licence over until June of 2011 - I still have a work history where I was employed by a Colorado employer and paid Colorado taxes since November of 2010.

Added: LEGALLY speaking - regardless of how many homes or properties you own in other states - - you can only be DOMICILED in one state. THAT is the state from which you must obtain your drivers license.
