ADVANTAGE or FAVOR (2 sentences please)

How would you properly say these 2 sentences please?

- I do think that Eric does have a strategy in place to help locate Bill even if its not to his advantage.

- He says he's got no money when it suits him/when it's convenient for him/when it's to his advantage, but when he wants to buy something for himself he conveniently has the money to do so.

Thank you
