Anyone have any insights on switching between transactional work and litigation? Just finished my first year as a transactional associate at a large national firm outside Florida and I’m looking to move back and make the transition (two big ones I know).

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?
