Specifically, can you charge a monthly pet fee?

Finally, I don't know for sure if there is any language in the VA loan application process or documentation that would require you to disclose this relationship.

In Virginia, it's actually written into the landlord tenant laws that landlord can require a renter's insurance policy and actually purchase one and charge the tenant if tenant chooses not to purchase one, as long as total cost of security deposit and renter's policy equals less than 2 months' rent.  

I think you will need to speak with an attorney to see how much they will charge to take care of this and then figure out how much it will actually reduce your taxes by.

What do you charge if I double close?

I am wondering if any Tenant Placement Companies are using a CRM to organize the process of marketing for tenants and screening applicants. 

I would imagine that due to the increasing (my opinion) competition among RE agents in JC it may lower the overall fee that's usually charged..
