Bill Acquisition Shortlist Format
04/27/2026
Purpose
This is the recommended Bill acquisition shortlist format for the first live sourcing workflow using LoopNet and JLL. It is designed to help Bill make fast keep / watch / drop decisions without reading a full research memo on every lead.
What this format is meant to do
- surface the highest-signal leads first
- show enough evidence to decide whether a property deserves deeper work
- keep weak or incomplete leads from cluttering the top of the list
- separate sourceable opportunities from actually actionable opportunities
Recommended source order
- LoopNet for on-market property discovery and listing detail
- JLL Properties for additional on-market discovery and broker-led listing detail
- CoStar for market color, article context, and directional intel only until a stronger property workflow is proven
Bill-facing triage labels
- Advance: deserves immediate deeper underwriting or outreach
- Watch: potentially interesting, but missing one or two critical facts
- Drop: outside buy box or weak enough to stop spending time
Executive Shortlist Table (recommended top section)
| Rank | Triage | Fit Score | Property | Market | Source | Ask / Pricing | Size / Keys | Why It Matters | Biggest Gap | Next Action | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Watch | 58 | Union Plaza Building, 124 W Capitol Ave | Little Rock, AR | LoopNet | $14,500,000 | 235,704 SF office | Proven LoopNet detail extraction worked. Live listing includes price, occupancy, lot size, and summary. | Not Eagle target product. Office, not motel / extended-stay candidate. | Keep only as workflow proof, not as acquisition priority. | LoopNet listing |
| 2 | Watch | 42 | Bldg 3 Unit A, 250 Ed English Dr | Shenandoah, TX | JLL | $525,000 | 2,100 SF office | Proven JLL detail extraction worked. Live listing includes price, size, highlights, and brokers. | Not Eagle target product. Office condo, not hospitality. | Use as JLL workflow proof only. | JLL listing |
| 3 | Watch | 34 | 13622 Sardis Rd | Mabelvale, AR | LoopNet | $399,900 | 3,000 SF retail | Local-market result surfaced cleanly in LoopNet sale search. | No Eagle fit proof yet, wrong asset type, no hospitality signal. | Only revisit if site/use conversion angle appears. | LoopNet listing |
Recommended Detail Card for every property that survives first pass
1. Basic identity
- Property name
- Full address
- Market / MSA
- Source
- Listing URL
- Date observed
2. Fast economics
- Asking price or pricing status
- Keys or square footage
- Price per key or price per SF if applicable
- Occupancy / lease status if available
- Year built / renovated if available
3. Eagle fit screen
- Asset type
- Corridor type: exterior / interior / unknown
- Motel / hotel / extended-stay relevance
- Economy positioning evidence
- Workforce housing conversion relevance
4. Why Bill should care
- 2 to 4 bullets only
- what makes it actionable now
- what could make it a real deal
- what could kill it quickly
5. Gaps and risks
- missing room count
- no corridor proof
- pricing not verified
- wrong asset type
- weak location demand
- unclear ownership / unclear distress
6. Next action
- Underwrite now
- Owner lookup
- Broker call
- Watch for price cut
- Drop
Recommended production format going forward
A. Top page: only the shortlist
Bill should see no more than 10 to 15 rows on page one.
Required columns: - Rank - Triage - Fit Score - Property - Market - Source - Ask / Pricing - Keys / Size - Why It Matters - Biggest Gap - Next Action
B. Following pages: one mini-card per lead
Every lead that remains on the shortlist gets a compact detail card.
Suggested mini-card layout: - Property: - Address: - Source: - Ask: - Keys / SF: - Current use: - Eagle fit: - Why it matters: - Main risk: - Next action: - Links / evidence:
C. Hard rule for Bill’s real workflow
The shortlist should not mix pure market commentary with property leads.
That means: - LoopNet and JLL can feed the shortlist directly - CoStar should stay in a separate Market Intel section until we prove property-level sourcing there
My recommendation
For Bill, the best usable first version is:
Page 1: ranked shortlist table
Pages 2+: one-card-per-property detail pages
Separate appendix: market intel / article notes / thesis notes
That keeps the decision layer tight and prevents the research from turning into a pile of noise.
Bottom line
Bill does not need a giant acquisitions packet first. He needs a tight top-sheet that tells him what to advance, what to watch, and what to drop. This format is built for that.
