Just to clarify, a lot of folks are under water that had serious amounts of equity before. At one point in my rental home I was sitting on 23% real equity due to money down and improvements to the property. I'm now sitting 38% under water due to foreclosures and lack of sales in the area. Not all underwater homes are that way because of 100% mortgages or buying more property than they can afford.
