Why This Works… And Why It's Different
New Construction in High-Growth Texas Markets
We build in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and surrounding areas… markets selected for strong rental demand. New construction is intended to minimize immediate maintenance needs often found in older properties.
3.75% Fixed Financing for 10 Years
While market rates fluctuate, our investors currently have access to 3.75% fixed financing for 10 years. This helps provide more consistency for your long-term planning compared to standard market rates.
Professional Property Management
We provide comprehensive management services in-house, handling day-to-day tenant relations and maintenance so you can focus on your professional life while we oversee the daily operations.
Potential Tax Advantages
With the right structure and a cost segregation study, some investors may be able to offset a portion of their taxable income through accelerated depreciation.

About Clay Schlinke
I'm the founder and CEO of Invest 5S LLC, a family-owned real estate development company. We help high earners and aspiring investors pursue long-term wealth through managed duplex investments in Texas. I started at 21 as a realtor, became a successful home flipper, and in 2002 transitioned into developing build-to-rent duplex communities.
I recognized what institutional investors already knew: Rental housing in high-growth markets can be one of the most consistent wealth-building assets available when managed properly.
In 2008, I navigated the financial crisis and used those lessons to rebuild a stronger, more resilient model. Today, Invest 5S has developed over 5,000 units across Texas, building approximately 400 units annually. This is a family business: my sons, daughter-in-law, and wife all work alongside me to help you pursue your family’s generational wealth goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the potential for cash flow?
Every investment is structured with the goal of generating rental income, using new construction and 6 months of rent coverage at closing. Please note that rental income is never guaranteed and depends on fluctuating market conditions.
What if the property doesn't rent immediately?
That is what the 6 months of rent coverage is designed to help with. It provides a buffer for your investment during the initial leasing phase.
How much is required upfront?
Duplexes are currently available from $499K to $649K. Down payment requirements (approvals depend on creditworthiness and underwriting) and full investment details are covered on your strategy call.
Do I need real estate experience?
Not at all. Our system is designed for professionals who want to own property while utilizing professional management to handle the daily responsibilities. We provide the team and the market expertise.
How long does it take to start earning rental income?
We'll cover your specific timeline on the call based on current construction phases and inventory availability.
What markets do you build in?
Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and surrounding high-growth Texas markets, areas selected for rental demand and long-term potential.
Is this a family business or a corporation?
Family business. Clay's family is active in the company daily, bringing over 25 years of hands-on experience to every property we build.
