Mainly because as you mentioned your target tenants are going to be bachelor/ettes with decent jobs, and from first hand experience I feel those type of people aren’t too terribly picky as long as the property is half decent. 

For example, if you have a page that you want to target the phrase "sell my Des Moines house fast", you could have a page where the heading on the page is "How Can I Sell My Des Moines House Fast?"

In listsource you can target properties with equity.

In the month of December I send each tenant a $50 Target gift card (rents are a $1000-$1200/mo).

I would begin my research by selecting some targeted areas and then seeing how much property values declined in those areas between 2006-2010.  

We immediately recognize whether a property is in or out of it, and how nice the area is within that target neighborhood.

Everything is available online (market analysis, comps, etc) and in most cases we are more familiar with our target market than the agent! 

Most wholesalers target properties with out of state owners with 50% or more equity.  

Collins being one of your target relocation areas, you might want to explore the multifamily units available in Cheyenne, WY.

If it does, an agreement is made at that time and the target date of completion is changed and initialed on contract.One more point...
