I found a property and got approved with a hard money lender, however the closing cost is 29k on a loan for 112k. Is that normal and are there better rates through other hard money lenders. This is my first deal.

So a lender will only talk about their fees, so they may tell you that closing costs for them are 6k all in and then the title company tells you to send a check in for more than that. That's because lender fees are not the only fees in the deal. You have title costs, sometimes insurance, pre paid interest, transfer tax, etc.

Are you sure that "closing cost" is not actually "cash to bring to closing"? This can include a down payment which may be 10-20% on a short-term purchase and rehab hard money loan.
(except if you used Longhorn Investments. We have 0% down on purchase available, so our closings at this loan size level would be well under $10k).
