It is likely worth building a presence in ATL with the local housing authorities and tenants. 

If you want you to be more hands-off, I would suggest working with a property manager who is local to the area.

You can look into the BiggerPockets-affiliated software for landlords here in the Tools section.Another option could be a local Realtor who either works a ton of rentals or does a lot of business in North Austin.The software route may still require involvement on your end i.e. setup, communication, document review, etc.

90% of the population (I made up that number) shouldn’t own their own business, shouldn’t be active investors, and shouldn’t have bottom line responsibility; it’s just not in their DNA.  

Partnering with Brittany Scandra provided valuable local insights, enhancing the deal's appeal for Partner Driven.

However I’m happy investing locally.
