MA income tax on rental income?

I now own a rental property in MA and reside out of state. My question for anyone who might be familiar with this situation is if I will owe MA personal income tax (or any other state tax) on this income?

According to a website I found:

The Massachusetts personal income tax applies to the income of individuals who are employed and/or living in the state, and it is generally withheld by employers from their employees’ paychecks. This tax also applies to the income of estates, trusts, and corporate trusts (including partnerships and associations with transferrable shares).

Since I don't live in the state, nor am I employed there, it would seem I will not owe income tax to MA. My real estate is not in a trust, either. Am I missing something?
