Treasury.

But I don't like writing big checks to Treasury either. 

I think you should put it in a treasury bond and get a safe 6.8% return right now.

Your best bet would be to look at the forward curves for the 10 year treasury bonds and make an educated guess based on the same.

There are other options like treasury direct 4 week tbills that yield over 2.4%.

The bond markets continue to parabolically rise (specifically the 10Y treasury yield).

Longer-term interest rates track with US Treasury Rates and are based on what alternatives conservative investors have for their money.

Since most real estate investors utilize these smaller institutions to purchase investment real estate; it is important that investors maintain their current relationships at these institutions, in addition to building new ones.Secondly, individuals and companies that regularly keep over $250k in their bank account will start diversifying their funds between a number of institutions; while also purchasing short-term treasuries.

CDs and treasury bills: the best is 4.5%.
