Quick Close with Hard Money Then Refi into Conventional

[Jeremy Kuchenbecker]

Looking at a property where the seller wants a quick close - by Feb 28 (11 days). With no contract on the house he cant close anyway but I want my offer to be accepted and as clean as possible. 

Price: 160k Rent: 1,950/month 

I generally go through a portfolio lender but am unsure if they can close that quick. I've never used hard money but this may be my only option. I would expect to hold the hard money loan for under 30 days as I would look to refi it immediately after closing. Is this possible? and what would my carrying costs be using traditional LTV on a hard money loan (I'm not familiar with what that would be)? Also would there be any points or additional closing costs associate with the hard money loan? Thanks in advance!
