Hard money lenders
Found a deal that will cash flow very well but my funds are limited, can I use hard money to pay the difference in the down payment? Property is 260k and makes $5400 a month, so plenty of room for cash flow, I only want to put down 10-20k can/will a hard money lender fund the difference?

No, the HML will need to be in first position on title. You should work on pulling money out of other properties, etc. or find a partner to do the deal with the cash you'll need. Also, the first mortgage lender would probably not allow you to borrow down-payment funds from anyone who will not be an owner of the borrowing entity.
