It can be a huge hassle as a private landlord and my personal advice would be to go through an estate agent. You won't earn as much as doing it on your own but they do all the legwork for you and you don't have to worry about chasing failed payments because you're guaranteed to get them.
The private landlord industry is an area that really needs some legislation. All the legitimate ones are fully in favour of it to whittle out the chaff and it would prevent areas from being run down by companies that don't care who they put into their houses. I'm looking at you, Home Trader.
