Is getting a BTL property worth it over pension?

[solo2]

Pretty much as said really?

I have 3 pensions totally not a huge amount but enough to put down a 25% deposit against a buy to let property.

I'm 18 years off pensionable age at 47 currently so would my money really work better for me if I became a landlord? I just see so many costs that landlords have to pay and wonder how many of them you have to pay over things you don't have to if you wish to manage it all yourself.

I guess pitfalls are tenants to paying and/or trashing the place so really want to make my money work for me better but I'm not into taking a massive risk.
