FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The silent revolution of homeowners turning to strategic default reached the halls of Congress, and legislators are searching for answers, according to Florida Foreclosure Defense Attorney Roy Oppenheim.

Responding to a wave of more than 1 million homeowners strategically defaulting on their mortgage to gain the attention of banks and advantages in negotiations, House Republicans introduced a provision barring government-backed loans for borrowers who walked away from homes when they could still afford the mortgage.

Oppenheim shared his thoughts on foreclosure defense with Sun-Sentinel writers Paul Owers and Harriet Johnson Brackey in two front-page stories this week. Join Oppenheim on July 7, LIVE Online or in Weston, FL, as he explains why homeowners on the verge of Shay's Rebellion 2.0 hold the power to fashion a financial bailout.

"It's amazing that businesses and banks regularly turn to strategic default to save capital and preserve their interests, yet you will never hear of Congress imposing restrictions or deterrents on these institutions," Oppenheim said. "Once again, homeowners are staring hypocrisy in the face when it comes to banking practices and real estate."

This House provision, while ambiguous and seemingly impossible to enforce, sends a clear sign the revolt against unruly banks and unproductive bailouts is gaining traction.
