It depends..
If you are looing for cash out type financing is has gotten alot harder.
If you have decent equity and FICO you should have no problems (unless youa re talking a jumbo loan which may require a fairly high FICO)
If you are underwater, but just by a little, there are gov't programs that MAY be able to help you to refi into a lower and more rate/payment.
