I have property in Conyers, Georgia that I would like to rent out but I am nervous and it has overwhelmed me a little bit. I appreciate some advice and recommendations for properties managers in or near the Conyers area.

Just know, these things have been stressfull and overwhelming because it's new to you. The more you see it the more you will be conditioned to handle it. Hiring a property manager is a good call
It sounds like with your handy skills and connection you will be good at self-managing this property. You can hire a realtor to list the property and help find a quality tenant thus eliminating the fear. I saw some say to use Zillow with their application BUT I highly don't recommend it. So much fraud with people using other people's identities to get properties. I would hire a Realtor that will help explain the process and show you what they do. Look at Mysmartmove.com to help learn about running background/credit checks.
If an agent isn't willing to help then find a local investor/landlord that is doing it right and pay him a couple of bucks to walk you through how they run each application.
Just like anything else, when you first do it you are scared. But after you do one you will be less scared.
Get property listed on Zillow or with an agent time is ticking and you are losing $400 per month lol.

If at all possible, I would try to self manage for a single property. If you live nearby, it is a fairly simple job. After you manage it for a while, then think about pm. The experience of managing wi make the task of finding a pm much easier also.
