Where do you park you money?

I currently have some cash (my army) that I am building up for a down payment on an investment property sitting in a Barclays 1.20% APY savings account (Earnings peanuts). Waiting for that perfect moment to pounce a on deal that comes along. Many moons have passed I am getting restless, antsy and perhaps a little trigger happy to pull on a sub par deal. I am certain the returns would be much greater invested in a Multi family home. With that said, where do you keep your army of cash while waiting for an opportunity?

I don't even bother putting my money in an interest bearing account with how low interest is offered. I just park mine in a regular checking account and wait for an opportunity. I have 5 properties now each earning around 18-20% return.
