Hi BP,We are looking to do a cash out refinance of our primary residence (no outstanding mortgage).

1) Rich Dad Poor Dad (READ THIS DAMN BOOK)2) I Will Teach You To Be Rich (Hands down 110% the best book EVER, this WILL change your life as I can attest to as I'm implementing the tips in my life now) 3) Set For Life (This is the mindset and goals you must have to achieve Financial Freedom)4) The One Thing (What can YOU do NOW to BENEFIT you later)5) The Four Hour Work Week (No it's not about working 4hrs a week, it's about optimising your time and it works!)

Damn, sounds like a dirty place from what I can gather, gotta deny them. 

You should get a preliminary title report when you're in escrow and that'll give you an opportunity to ask the lender to clear outstanding title issues.

Our current All-In expense is $13,000 (this was a tax lien) and we have an outstanding liability of $11K, which could increase our total all-in expense to $24K (rounding up).

Not a ball of fire, since he is a one man crew, but he does damn good work, and he's not that expensive. 

@Mindy JensenKiyosaki has said repeatedly that he suspects it's not an accident at all that personal finance isn't taught in schools.The first rule of life: have rich parents.Sadly, my parents would not have been able to teach something they completely didn't understand themselves.But then again, I've known plenty of children born to affluent parents and very few of them were worth a tinker's damn."

If you pay off the 127k + 16k outstanding you would own the house outright and I think that would be the cleanest way to do it.
