I am concern about the 20% down payment , I know that hard money lenders are faster than traditional mortgage lenders but what concerns is being persistent with having to sign the letter and align with my down payment.I got an approval letter with 220K  at 3 % interest with 6 months of $330.79  (during construction) and $971.39 for 360 months with 15 % down payment. 

If being nice doesn't work and you have the persistence, you have the law on your side to get what you need. 

The numbers were good and I was persistent.
