Sell primary residence and buy a duplex, little to no equity...

[Account Closed]

Looking for any creative solutions. Damn Grant Cardone convinced me that I was an idiot to buy my house. I agree.

So far, it seems like either I pay the difference when I sell, or sell it for 15k more than I bought it for 6 months ago. Honestly, I overpayed a bit. I knew nothing about houses or real estate investing and now everything, including my life priorities, has changed. The real estate agent commission is going to eat me alive. Is it ever negotiable, or is it always 6%?
