CBRE - Transaction Specialist v. Valuation Associate

Anyone familiar with these roles at CBRE? If long term goal is to work in acquisitions/development and acquire my own portfolio of multifamily and commercial assets, which role would be better? Which would have more modeling exposure? Better just to get my foot in the door in some capacity and go from there?

Background includes Finance undergrad and real estate accounting experience.
