Thinking of getting an investment property (2×2 condo) that can be used for an airbnb part-time.

I'm considering ATL (Midtown/Buckhead) OR Houston (Midtown/Galleria). Which city would make the most financial sense?

I've heard that in ATL, there are alot of restrictions/fines by condominiums when attempting to use condos as units for Airbnb. I'm not sure if the same applies for Houston or even how true these restrictions are

Unlikely that the realtor will know this unless they specialize in buying short term rents. You need to read the CC&Rs for every condo complex to see what they require as each association can have different rules. They also could always pass new HOA rules that could impact you. An agent may know the politics of short term rentals in the area, but I wouldn’t count on it. You’ll need to be smart in it. I would suggest instead interviewing some local property managers in the area your considering to see what you can learn from them.

I’m on the west coast and have an Airbnb by the beach, so I don’t have any suggestions in other areas. My city has changed Airbnb rules since I bought my place 6 years ago and my place was grandfathered into permitting and you can not longer get a permit for an Airbnb that isn’t also your primary residence.

Not sure about Atlanta, but in Houston many HOAs don't allow daily rentals, and even sometimes limit the number of units that can be any type of rental.
