Sue and collect from tenants with little to no money.

[Ardel ALegre]

Recently had to evict my tenants for unpaid rent for a little over a month. I was ready to take the loss, but I just got the video walkthrough of the place. It is an absolute mess, and I am guessing 30k+ worth of damages. Looks like it might be worth suing after all, but I am assuming they don't have any money or assets I can pursue. Is it worth paying the fees to sue and hire a representative? Once I even do that, what are the chances a collections agency can recover what is legally owed? Any good collections agencies for this sort of thing?
