Short term parking of cash

[Robert Campbell]

As the description says, I'm looking for the next opportunity to buy more real estate, but I'm currently deployed and can't do too much searching in earnest while I'm overseas.  So I want to park some of my next down payment somewhere with more than a .05% return like a checking account.  I also need to be able to access this quickly if I do find the next purchase.  What's a simple way to put this to work and get it out of my checking account, AND make a return, AND keep it accessible should I need it for another purchase?
