You can get over 5% on a 26 week TBill on treasury direct while you wait for opportunities to emerge as interest rates continue to correct the market.Be safe out there.

The Treasury Regulations clearly  indicates that an investor must have the intent to hold the  Relinquished Property and  the Replacement Property for rental, investment or business use. 

Returns will vary with the level of risk - for example if there was a "crypto currency fund" that targeted 15% or a US Treasury Fund targeting 4%, most would be like of course 15%, but risk is also a major key component. 

I would invest in risk-free online savings, CDs, US Treasuries, and money market mutual funds at 5% over getting 10% in asset classes that have a risk component. 

Typically, commercial reset rates are tied to the 10 year treasury.  

And the rest cash out and go into stocks (gradually, dollar cost average to minimize risk), safe savings/treasuries, and some maybe in private RE syndications.

Hell your 530k in equity will produce more return in treasuries... right now almost 5 percent. 

Typically, when indicators like the yield on our 10 year Treasury bill starts to rise, it’s time to fix your rate.You however mentioned that you're looking to use this money as a down payment for an investment property.

Why were Greek bonds paying 15% while US treasuries pay less than 2%?

Hi, imputed rates are harder to investigate by IRS auditors than you might think, the probably have a current rate sheet for the month or quarter, but can you imagine going back five years from treasury rates and adding a margin for each adjustment and comparing the to the yield of a zero coupon bond of it's term with additional amounts of pricipal accruing to a balloon payment that is factored in at the time of sale and discounted from the sale price?
