What to do with your money while saving for a down payment?

[Jaime Paniagua]

Hey,

In the process of saving money for a down payment on my first rental property.

It would be nice to obtain some type of return while saving. I feel like I am missing out on opportunity cost. Parking the money in a savings account will produce a negligible return.

Any suggestions on what to do with the money while saving for the down payment?

Thank you

for the short term <8 months: Ally is 1.15%. Which is not that great, but if you're going to park it at least maximize returns.

parking in a big 4 bank earning .05% is not a good decision.
