The majority of my online rentals come from Craigslist.  My renters are refinery contractors, not people on vacation.  Big burly scary looking guys with neck tats.  They drive jacked up 4x4s, chew tobacco in their sleep, and smell like diesel fuel.  You'd avoid the aisle in Wal Mart if you saw one there.  I'd go up to him, punch him in the arm and say "What's up mofo?"  If he saw me in a bar, he'd send the waitress with the largest cleavage over with a round of drinks.  I decorate my places like Hugh Hefner would.  For some reason, I don't think this strategy would work in your market.
