While it is true cash offers in the strict sense mean real cash, it may also mean no-contingency offers. You can go through mortgage underwriting first and commit to pay the gap between appraised value and deal value, and can make a no-contingency offer with minimum risk. Or, if you are willing to lose your deposit (usually 3-5%) you can also make a no-contingency offer to be more attractive. |

Of course, but unless the amount you commit to bridge is unbounded, you're still contingent in appraisal price. And if you did commit to that, you're just making a cash offer with extra steps.
Deposits in my experience are token (around 2%). And usually sellers will verify that you have the cash on hand for no-contingency offers, since 2% is not worth waiting and then redoing the house selling process.
