A team of journalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution spent seven months digging into an investment trend that allows private equity firms to elbow individual buyers out of the housing market.

In this special edition of Politically Georgia, AJC political insiders Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy sit down with AJC's Brian Eason for an in-depth look at the AJC investigation: The American Dream for Rent.

Learn what’s caused the single-family home rental industry to grow so quickly, how out-of-state landlords trap renters into bad situations, and how this trend disproportionately affects neighborhoods of color.
