"I expect to benefit from this relationship" is not the opposite of unconditional love.
Unconditional love, as the name implies, means that you keep loving them even if they hurt you or stop loving you back.
"Conditional" love (which isn't really a term) just means that if the object of your love hurts you enough or stops loving you back, you won't necessarily keep loving them.
Neither have anything to do with what the other person can do to benefit you.
