Quote from @Tyler Munroe:This was an extremely unpopular measure with the current residents of Cambridge, but change like this is necessary to address the affordability issues that plague our state.

I think your best bet is to find a reliable turnkey provider.

Is it more beneficial when filling taxes to have a rental as a primary residence (house hack) or solely as a rental property, along with a   W-2 job?

I don’t intend to occupy the house as a primary residence but purchase the property as an investment property. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Could you elaborate what a resident benefit is or 2nd nature?

So I live in a small rural community average rent goes for 1890 for a 3/2 in my zip code per the county data.
Current first house is a 3/2 I purchased in Jan 2021 for 210k currently owe about 180k with current value...

I have some cash for a down payment, excellent credit, a well paying job and plenty of equity in my current residence.  

Leveraging you primary residence in order to procure financing for the a rental property will certainly give you the opportunity to get the best rate. 

@Juan Perez Turning your primary residence into a rental is a great way to build your investment portfolio.
