        "text": "With a cash offer, an appraisal is generally not required by a lender, as there's no financing to secure. However, a buyer may still opt for an appraisal for their own informational purposes to confirm the property's market value. This is a practical tradeoff for the buyer, who takes on the risk of the property's value without a bank's assessment but gains flexibility in the transaction. In Florida, even without a lender, a buyer might choose to verify the market value of a vacation rental in areas like Orlando, where tourism significantly impacts property values.",
