Jacques,
Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and jump in. Rather than spending lots of time wondering if a buyer's agent or some other person can find you a good deal, you really have to be able to learn how to do it yourself. I guarantee you will make some mistakes along the way, but if you have a good plan and stick to it, you can minimise the effect (and cost) of those mistakes. You can be 100% certain that every person on this forum who has bought properties has made a mistake or two along the way. The secret is to learn from the mistakes and not make them again.
You will ultimately be better off if you work hard at this yourself. You may think that the answer to your plight is to convince The Wife to take you on board to show you how it is done. Well, in many respects, you may well learn a lot, but her style is going to be so much different to your style (at the moment). You seem to have much enthusiasm and desire to succeed. Turn some of that enthusiasm into action, and as the good people at Nike say ..."Just do it!"
