The other way would be to hire them through a temp agency but I'd guess many of them won't cooperate with because it's no longer cash under the table, background checks, etc.  

Does anyone know of any good collection agencies for private landlords?

@Leo Rodriguez Like Oleg stated above, if you are going for the agency debt then at least having some management experience in the asset class you are buying is huge. 

There might be an agency around that allows a low production agent to hang their license with them but I haven't heard of them.

According to Chapter Five, “An outright gift of the cash investment is acceptable if the donor is- the borrower’s relative- the borrower’s employer or labor union- a close friend with a clearly defined and documented interest in the borrower- a charitable organization- a governmental agency or public entity that has a program providing home ownership assistance to low- and moderate-income families, or first-time homebuyers.”

or other governmental entities (including health agencies) have educational materials that may shed some light on the problem?

I poked around the website and it is possible to be a vendor to the agency, but part of me is a little leery about registering with the gov't.
