Contact the tax assessor in the town (or the county) and find out if he owns the property. If he owns it get someone to check mortgages at the county to see how much equity is in the property (sometimes you can just call the records room at the courthouse.)

I did check liens in Iowa and there are none in the name of Kent Helseth.

If you can't find any assets you may be spinning your wheels. Nothing wrong in obtaining a judgment against him. It will stay on the books for decades but it is only good if he aquires assets.
