Since the home is upside-down, you should ask the trustee to abandon it. That way you can reaffirm it, if you're sure you want to keep an investment home that is upside-down. (I probably wouldn't keep an upside-down house. I personally don't believe home prices will come back for years and years, but it's your call.)
