What is your exact timeline? There's no reason you can't lock it into something safe like a 6-month CD earning over 4% interest. If you put $25k into a 6-month CD earning 4.15%, you'd get just over $500 in that time. There likely are other options out there that will earn you more money but since you sound like you want little to no risk, a CD may be the simplest option.
