What if five investors owned almost every rental home in your neighborhood? In one Georgia district, Rep. Martin Momtahan says that is already the reality.


In this episode of Justice Unfiltered, host Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon of A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds sit down with Rep. Martin Momtahan, who represents District 17 in Paulding County. A small business owner before he was a lawmaker, Momtahan brings a common-sense view to public safety, the courts, and the issues hitting Georgia families the hardest.

The heart of the conversation is housing. Momtahan points to research on his district showing the top five institutional investors own roughly 92 percent of single-family rental homes. He breaks down the gap between hedge-fund rents and privately owned ones, why starter homes now push $400,000, and how big investors appealing their property taxes can shift the burden onto longtime homeowners.

From there, the talk runs wide. Momtahan explains why he is the only non-attorney on the Judiciary Committee and why he thinks that helps. He digs into a border dispute that has left "stranded Georgians" in a contested area between Georgia and Tennessee, with real stakes around water and in-state tuition. He shares how his driving school once taught Travis Tritt's kids. And he closes with the part that fits this show best: why changing a law rarely fixes the case in front of you, but can still help the next family in line, and why he wants people to email their legislators and show up.

Honest talk about housing, fair laws, and what a real second chance looks like in Georgia.

Hosted by Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon, CEO of A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds and A 2nd Chance Monitoring.
