In order of simplicity:
1. Buy SGOV etf (you will pay a .09% annually for it if it matters to you)
2. Most major brokerages will let you buy these directly for no commission on the secondary market or at auctions.
3. You can buy these at auctions for free at the government website TreasuryDirect.
'Auction' just means, there is a calendar of when the fedgov auctions off T-bills. You place an order for how many $1000 (redemption value) T-bills you want and then after the auction is over you get the T-bills at the final price.

$125k in high yield corporate bonds (e.g. SPDR POrtfolio HY Bond ETF, which is like a ~7.x% 5 year duration ETF, you can do iShares or Vanguard as well for similar yield & duration)
$125k in EM bonds (e.g. iShares JPMorgan EM Corporate Bond ETF for 7-8% of corporate debt or VanEck JP Morgan EM Local Currency Bond ETF for 7.5-8% sovereign bonds in emerging markets)
$125k in preferred stocks (Nuveen Preferred Securities Income Fund - 7% actively managed closed-end fund, iShares has a similar fund)
$125k in agency MBS (iShares, Vanguard and SPDR all have ~5.5% low risk, low vol agency MBS)
Weighted portfolio yield is 6.75 - 7%
Annual income is like $34-35k
Monthly income is ~$3k

Depends on how much cash you'll need eventually, and how far out that is.
For example, if you plan on using it for down payment in 2 years, versus in one year, versus you have no real expected need for it at any time in the next 10 years.
