Would a Home Equity Line of Credit or loan used to buy a home be considered a Home Aquisition Debt instead of a Home Equity Debt?

For HELO interest on principal beyond $100k to be deductible, the proceeds must be plowed back into the property pledged as security. If it's used for any other purpose, the interest on the amount of the loan over $100k is non-deductible. To be considered as acquisition debt, the property bought must be the security for the loan.
