My Books Aren't Perfect
No QuickBooks? No problem. Start with what you know.
Most small Arizona parks are not run on accounting software. Rent is collected in cash, checks, or Zelle, and expenses live in a checkbook and a folder of receipts. That does not disqualify your park.
A workable starting picture can be rebuilt from a handwritten rent roll, twelve months of bank statements, the property tax bill, and your water, sewer, trash and electric bills.
What matters most in Arizona
- A current rent roll with lot numbers, rent amounts and occupancy is the single most useful document.
- Twelve months of bank statements substitute for a P&L surprisingly well.
- Utility bills reveal usage patterns, leaks, and the real cost of summer water.
Common questions
- Do I need QuickBooks or audited financials to sell my park?
- No. Most small Arizona parks run on cash, checks and Zelle. Start with what you know — imperfect books do not disqualify your park.
- What documents actually matter?
- A current rent roll with lot numbers, rents and occupancy, twelve months of bank statements, the property tax bill, and water, sewer, trash and electric bills.
- Can bank statements substitute for a profit and loss statement?
- Largely yes. Twelve months of statements reconstruct income and expenses well enough to build a grounded preliminary picture.
