The option can {many would say, should} contain the future Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS), with all the terms and conditions of the future sale, laid out, as a Schedule to the Option agreement/contract.In exchange for the right to purchase the property at the {strike} price established by the option contract, an option fee is paid by the purchaser of the option to the writer/provider of the option.I would keep the two agreements separate (as if they are with two different people) and have no performance ties between them (i.e. no rent credits, no financing of the down payment, etc).
