The good thing is if you already have a FHA loan right now you can do a streamline refinance FHA without an appraisal.  We would just use your last appraised amount. 

If you don't then unfortunately, you would have to wait until the market turns to refinance.

Pay your mortgage.  Maybe the rates are slightly better, but regardless if they still are.. your mortgage size is fairly small... They are all large to each of us, but the point is a 1% drop in rate.... maybe $100 month.  That is not usually the problem solver.  Your car was worth less 20 minutes after you bought it.  America was lulled into believing RE ONLY went up...That is not true... If you pay your mortgage off completely and the home lost some value, you still have equity from paying.  Again, free equity was a mirage as well.  The refis ate up your equity, but you did get the safest loan out.  Work hard to keep it and who knows what the future may unfold for those who have paid, but are underwater more than 105%...  Be patient and stay the course.  Good luck.
