Yep, finding a property manager is one great solution to the problem. Did you find a good one easily? I've heard it's really hard to find a good one that actually manages the property well and keeps it rented out consistently. I haven't really looked myself, though, so all I really know about it is from stories on BiggerPockets.
I went with the agent who sold me the house in the first place, and found me a rental before then. I don't know how much of it was luck and how much was by design but the rental is in a location where rent is higher than mortgage payments by quite a margin and I found a good company to manage it.
