However I made the dumb move of staining the floors Jacobean (one stain lighter than Ebony) when I first bought the place. 

Now re read that message, and tell me it is not filled with energy advice and teachings, while I try my best to make the mood  lighter, to make it not so boring and serious and depressing.

I've read that lighter colors like that are more often VCT and dark burgandy, black is asbestos too.

Hey @Rowena Agustin, I'd go with a nice light gray color with lighter Luxury Vinyl Planking.

Perhaps they have a "lighter" version now or you may be gearing up to the enterprise level?

So my renter of 7 months called me up and said that her son and her nephew was playing with a lighter and fire started in the bedroom.

That's why it costs twice as much as the lighter stuff.

For a HELOC, usually the appraisal effort is much lighter than an initial loan.

The work load is lighter and the cash flow usually higher than managing the long term buy and hold. 

My contractor shows me some options and he recommend I go with a lighter stain for rental property.
