I'd want to live as close to central Austin as I can afford (<$350k) - transitional areas like SE or Rundberg still preferred over outer suburbs like RR/Pflugerville/Leander.  

I really enjoy getting to see how people transition from the one career path to real estate.

The installation and warranty say that every door needs a t-molding transition piece, but I hate how t-molding looks.

The house is close to bus lines so I do have several tenants who use public transit so they don't take up parking space.  

Primary residences usually sell better and rent worse.And ultimately you are going to want to transition to passive ownership with as much captured deferred tax as possible while freeing up as much tax free money.I personally would not give up the entirely tax free primary until I was ready to leave the area or down size (given that you're close to retirement).  

My commute is about a 3 minute walk right now, so very hesitant to move way out of the city, but definitely will see if there are good places to house hack and/or buy cheap and renovate that would be on good transit lines to my work. 

I've transitioned my strategy to looking for flips in this area while buy cashflowing properties in the Memphis area.

This is all I have been able to find and it is on the NRHA history web page - A deed transition ceremony was held May 30, 1998, for residents of Bell Diamond, a Berkley community of 74 townhomes that were built in 1973 through a pilot program between NRHA and HUD wherein residents took part in a special rent to buy program that allowed families to have a portion of their rent accumulate toward the purchase of their home.

@Laureen Youngblood  it was all well and good when the laws were enacted 3 decades ago with a population of about 2 mil for the whole state.. now just look at PDX metro its a MESS.. traffic is as bad as any place in the country with 1.5 hour commutes one way the norm for many folks.. you simply can't smash huge population into small area and not expect grid lock.. and have a very poor public transit system..
