As rental rates climb, two Flowery Branch families feel stuck in the middle. Ricky Acevedo works at ZF Industries, Stephanie is a stay-at-home mom and 2-year-old Emma is a bright-eyed, energetic child. They live in a singlewide trailer in Flowery Branch and are the picture of a happy family, but they want to own — or at the very least, rent — a brick-and-mortar house.
