Becoming a resident earlier than when you own a property is irrelevant, IMO. The only reason for pushing residency before the first of the year is to get the Homestead Exemption, but since you don't yet have a home, this doesn't matter. As I remember the HE requires you to be a resident on Jan 1st of a year and have the papers filed by March. Since you won't own a home, no reason to rush. On the other hand, if this is for taxes, you'll still pay partial year taxes for the months you earned income in MA.
