Have you considered looking for another job in Michigan?
Seriously, relocating costs enough without having to take a loss on your house. Stying put and taking a job at 80% of your present salary might even be a more fiscally responsible option over the next 3 or 4 years, unless you're already living at the extent of your means.
If you go, think again about renting - losing $500/mo waiting for the house to sell is better than losing $1600/mo.
Trust me - I paid two mortgages for almost a year a couple of years back - I wouldn't wish that on anyone!
If you can sell before you leave, you can always find some bank willing to refi the 20% as unsecured, but expect a much higher interest rate (and the 30 years will start all over again at payment 1 of 360).
I hope everything works out - good luck!
