Best way to get a position in acquisitions

Hello all, Advice to a recent graduate, I am ultimately looking for a career in real estate asset management. A little background I have a B.S. in finance, a B.S. in real estate, and would like to work as a commercial appraisal working toward my MAI cert and MSRE degree from NYU. With that said, is a short stay in commercial appraisal a good track to acquisitions at a REPE firm.
