Advice needed
I have asked a few question trying to find a strategy to purchase a property.
Is it possible to borrow money from a hard money lender to purchase a foreclosure property for cash then refinance the property to pay back the hard money lender?

Yes, you can do this. I've done it. Its expensive, though, but it can be a way to get into a rental property with less cash out of pocket.
But lets clear up one piece. When you borrow from a HML you are financing the property. Not paying cash. That's a common misconception. A hard money loan is still a loan.
