Hassle marketing property

Hi everyone -

I own a 5 bed 4 bath home here in North Austin, TX that I currently house hack. I've been doing 3-6 "trial leases" for new tenants and they can extend after; however, I have a W2 sales job that takes a lot of my time. Finding tenants via facebook, craigslist, word of mouth, etc.. doing a phone screen, running background checks, etc.. takes A LOT of my time. I'm starting to wonder better ways to outsource this work and find solid tenants who will stay for the long haul. 

Unfortunately, I don't have tons of margin to work with. When I move out in Sept, get married, and fill my current room, I'll basically be breaking even after expenses and maintenance. 

Any vets in here that have solid advice on how I can outsource finding awesome tenants who sign longer leases and all the work that goes into that?
