        "text": "While not strictly required at the very start, opening a U.S. bank account is highly recommended and often becomes essential during the home buying process. It simplifies earnest money deposits, allows for easier payment of closing costs, and facilitates future property-related expenses like mortgage payments and utility bills. Having a local account can significantly ease financial transactions and avoid international transfer complexities.",
