Hi since you loan is neither owned by Fannie or Fredie Mac, then you will not qualify if you are currently underwater on your home, unless your mortgage is a FHA. If you do have equity, then you can refinance with a conventional loan. Do you have one or two mortgages on your home?
More info needed.. but in general, Every type of conforming loan has a refinance option where an appraisal is not necessary. VA, FHA, USDA and Conventional (HARP)... If your loan does not fall into these conforming loans, then it's more than likely you have a "Non-Conforming" or "Portfolio" type loan. But even these loans can be refinanced, it's just that you would need sufficient equity to meet the lenders Loan to Value restrictions. For conventional (non HARP) 95%, for FHA 97.75%, for VA (you must have available VA benefits) 100%. and for USDA, you must have a USDA loan now, and then you can refinance your balance only.
