What to do with 10k

[Jason D.]

Hello everyone, Been on the site long enough to know there are so many insanely smart people on here, so being in the mindset of utilizing the right people for the right job I wanted to leverage this knowledge. I have managed to save 10k in a year and plan on entering the real estate after finishing Grad school in August 2017. My question now is what do I do with the 10k I saved? I could do cd @1% interest, reits @ 8-10%, p2p lending, mutual funds, etc. I would truly appreciate some insight on what to do here and how to let the money grow in a easily liquid manner so that I can access the funds when I am ready to invest.
