Generally it has to be a lot of money to make it worth even trying.

But if I could magically collect on all my judgements I could be driving a very nice paid for car.
This guy's collectible or I wouldn't be wasting my time. He has a good job at a public hospital so won't be quitting. If I win the judgment, I'll be garnishing.

I think I'm going to try using the Sheriff since he should be able to get by security at the hospital whereas a private process server can't.

Good tenant screening is better than a judgment but you can't win them all.
