What exactly is the benefit of the EAGL100 loan program if you have no outstanding debt?

Someone from JFQ Lending (my mortgage was formerly with them) gave me a call saying I qualify for their EAGL100 program. Essentially I qualify for 100% of the equity in my home mortgage.

It’s a 25 year loan, with the current rate (6%-7%) locked for a year. After that it moves with the current interest rate, but has a cap of a 2% increase. At least that’s what I was told.

- My wife and I have zero student loans
- our vehicles are paid off
- we already did some home modifications within the last 2 years
- we are also paying monthly on land that we intend to build on when/if the supply chain and rates go down

What benefit is this to me other than investing?

I have a HELOC, which is what they are offering and I don't need it. However, it's nice to have and can be used as your "emergency fund", so you can stay fully invested and not keep cash in a low saving account. Also, you can do things like buy a vehicle with it and in effect do your own financing, plus the interest is tax deductible.
