Court date 7/22/14.  

The property is marketed to your buyers list with a specified date and time that is pre-arranged with the tenant to allow access for an hour or two.

Mine wasn't related to a closing date, but the timing was similarly bad.

Let's set a date and time in October.

Would I have been able to charge higher rent if my property had been ready for an August 1 start date?

After that, we now keep tabs on how up to date tenants are in paying their utilities.Keeping tabs on the water usage by looking at the bill will also help you identify leaks or unauthorized occupants, as the water usuage will spike for either of those reasons.

They kept changing our appointment date to meet to do the walk through.

It allows you to post each expense, it allows you input type and date of repair on each property so you know how old the water heater is from its own page, etc. 

It's eerily similar to my first rehab (a dated brick rancher), which will close in 3 weeks.

Usually, buildings that are eye-sores in the community attract attention the owners do not want because they're usually fined if the problem isn't corrected by a certain date with increases in fines the longer the problem exist.
