You need to decide what your long term goals are. If it's a home you plan to live in for a long time, then you may want to tough it out. Your goal is to stay in the home, not sell it for a profit or rent it out. If the property was purchased as an investment for your future, or otherwise selected for its financial viability as an asset, you could short-sell the home (sell it for less that you owe) or surrender it to the bank (deed-in-lieu of foreclosure). While there are negative credit and tax implications (in some instances), the "hit" of these negatives may be far less damaging over time than floating a negative asset may be to your long term finances.
