Can you make a cash offer on a house with a contingency?

[Christopher Fawls]

I have seen a number of houses in my area with contingencies on them.

Can I make a cash offer and ,if so, does that take precedence over a contingency?

Also, if so, can I propose a lower priced offer and how is that considered on a contingent house?

@Christopher Fawls A cash offer precludes any financing contingency, which is pretty big, and attractive to sellers.  You can still have other contingencies.  An inspection contingency is the most common.
