Re: lease option
You can negotiate any clause you want but it is unlikely to find someone to agree to a simultaneous closing clause.
Re: lease option
Assuming an all-cash sale and no enforceable prohibitions on assignment, I would assign the purchase option to your buyer, and have your $70,000 profit paid to you out of escrow.
Re: lease option
As long as there is nothing in your current agreement prohibiting your sale, you can do a dual escrow, you could do an assignment of your option, you could sell your option, or you can do a simple purchase and resale.
