Best HYSA(s) at the moment? Want to park ~$140k outside the market as a potential home down payment I next 1-2 years. Can put it in 1 or 2 accounts, depending on whether any signup benefit to doing multiple. Anyone have a referral that gets anything better than I can find googling? Looks like Sofi at 4.6% and $350 bonus might be best without any kind of other referral or anything.

If you want to park for that long I would use a Treasury (especially if in a state with income tax) or a brokered CD. Your HYSA rate is variable and will fall immediately when rates come down. I would find a way to lock the rate.

Can’t guarantee I want to park for that long, just guesstimating and trying to keep it liquid in the event I try to buy in the next year-ish. Might look at 1 year CD rates though, thanks for that good thought

Treasury bonds. Fidelity SPAAX around 5% return. Plenty of others to chose from. Low risk

Sofi is $300 bonus with an extra $25 if you use referral (happy to provide one). That's the best HYSA bonus I've found.

There are other bonuses like Chase and Wells Fargo, but those are checking accounts. Also ones that boost APY slightly for a few months, but I haven't found those worth the effort.

Honestly I would just get the Sofi bonus for the free $325 and then move the whole amount into money market fund or treasury bills in a brokerage account.

Like I’m not being mean but $325 is nothing for the amount of money you’re dealing with

5% with Wealthfront. 5.5% for first 3 months with bonus referral, which I can send you if you're interested.

I would take a referral, thanks

Why would you ever want to rollover your 401K into an IRA?

I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
