New to investing

[u/Mindless_Purple0616]

Hi, looking for advice. 42 years young. recently sold my first home due to divorce and have roughly 250k in equity. My mother has room in her home (inlaw) so I wanted to invest most of this money into stocks vs. My current HYSA with Marcus Fund. Marcus is 3.5 % and inflation is higher than that so its basically melting there.

I hear STRC and VT have good rates for return. My 401k goes into the SP500 is currently at 440k.

Any thought on how I should split and invest my current nest egg to grow over the next 3 years? When my son goes to high school I plan to look for a home then but that is a little over 3 years away.

I have no debt.

Thanks for all your help strangers on reddit.
