If you don't have a 'trusted wrangler' freelancers won't build anything worthwhile as they're not interested in the long term unless forced.
There must be somebody you know, or friend of friend, to get a warm intro to an experienced developer you can pay to oversee said team on an interim basis. No consultants, agencies etc. they'll fleece a non-tech like you, save your money and drop it on somebody good who can actually help execute your vision.
