If you have zero equity (both loans combined and individually are more than the home value) then the only option available is to seek refinance or modification options with your existing lender. Since they already own the risk, they don't assume further risk for working with the "underwater" property. No new lender will be able to finance a home without equity regardless of CH7 status. Equity aside, most lenders require 2 years to have passed from the CH7 discharge date.
