If you're a good enough negotiator you can play them against each other, "you know bank X said they'd do Y, could you match that or help me out?"

Right now it's my opinion that fix and flips are the best play as it's really hard to make the numbers work to hold properties.

@Brandon McLean I play in the bottom half of the market and in the older parts to town.

I admit I was not on top of this project like I should have but I have so many other projects in play I let this one slip off my radar.

My wife is a fairly new agent and struggled to find her niche. 

I would like to ask him to do the broker price opinion for this new potential flip-  He is aware I don't plan to sign an agreement, so doesn't have the incentive of a commission down the line, but I would like to be fair an compensate him for his time and efforts.  

I would Google really thorny condo questions and see what law firms were involved in cases that went to IL supremes, that would be a fairly good indication the attorney's had some experience.

Preferably ones that have legitimate ARV numbers and have legitimately good fair deals.
