If you're seriously underwater your best bet is to consult a lawyer, then stop paying your mortgage. Live rent free for a year or more until you get an eviction notice (that's how long it takes by me). SAVE that money in a safety deposit box or large safe. Then go rent a house for 2-3 years, keep saving your money (hopefully you'll still have your job). Then buy a house 3-4 years from now at the current market value which will be 15-25% lower than today's home values.
