How was the process of getting the existing tenants to agree to the lease to own vs being a pure renter?  

@Christian Tassinari It depends on the contract, you'll have to look at the fine print and ask you escrow and title companies what was in the original agreement.

Company A is reportedly going to relocate not too far from their original location - I'm guessing a 15 minute drive or even less.

Having given this idea some thought, you have not provided enjoying information for me to make a sound decision.For what it’s worth, you may have equity today, but it may be non-existent tomorrow.  

Earlier this year, I bought property that was originally built in 1927.  

Hi all.First let me introduce myself.My name is Victor, I have been living in the Austin area for 10 years now, originally from Spain.I bought my first home in Austin in 2009, and sold it for a good profit in 2013, when I married, to buy another home with my wife.Ever since, I have been wanting to invest some money in real state, mostly to avoid just having cash seating in the bank, and build some equity for the time when we retire.At different times we have looked at different types of properties, but for one reason or another we would just stop looking for a while and then start over again.Just a few months we started looking again, I wanted to find some investment property that provided some positive cash flow, but after talking with some friends, realtor, mortgage broker... it seemed that it could be better to find another property to move to, and rent our current home out, since we got it at a good price in 2013 and should get a good rent.Now, while looking for that, I found a house I thought had good potential with some renovations, and long story short, we ended up in a contract to purchase it.
