Unable to back out of contract after Due Diligence to do addendum. Seeking advice

I am in a situation where I live in Virginia but went under contract with a SC house using VA home loan buying in SC. The Residental Purchase agreement states(is checked) for contingent upon appraisal. Now on the VA HUD Amendment, they put down $0.00 as the value of the house. Then seller countered with me signing an addendum, saying I would pay purchase price by paying the difference between appraised value and purchase price.

I signed alot of documents and didnt know what a VA clause was at the time. After the documents were signed, I was told that I could back out if it didnt appraise and/ loan officer could lower loan amount of 385k.

Well, here we are. Im being told by the broker in charge, which is also dual agency, that I can not back out of the contract.

That I can not back out with a Denial Letter from the Lender stating house was appraised for less than purchase price and I waived that in the addendum.

Was informed 2 weeks in that this is agents first time representing a VA home loan buyer. The Contract states not contingent on Financing.

It is as if, I was purposely rushed to sign documents and I didnt know what I was signing. I feel scammed.

Any advice please? Thinking, Im going to have to look for an attorney.

SN- I have evidence of agent asking me to forge my wife's signature twice. The same agent also told my wife, They dont want to be a punching bag and my wife apologized to the agent from being upset(home buying is stressful) and his response was cry me a river. like seriously?

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
