call your local section 8, contact some nearby churches, see if they have any programs for needy families (they'll pay you!)

Ask around at church or your acquaintance.

Also find a mentor, I chose someone from my church who was doing investing and I trusted.

As someone who moved to Waco from Miami just because my wife got a senior position in Magnolia, I've met many families and individuals who have come to Waco from LA, NYC, Seattle, etc. just to work at Magnolia, SpaceX, Baylor, and some big churches in town, such as Antioch.

Washington was the operating partner, with the land being developed for small farms, houses, grain silos, tanneries, barrel manufacturing facilities, churches, stores, etc.
