Throw out all of the bank terminology.  What matters for Sch E is that you're able to trace loan proceeds from the bank directly (or indirectly via the tracing rules in the regs) to an expenditure to buy, build or improve the rental property.

I think it can be ANYTHING traced for the rental property, including repairs, maintenance and taxes.  Right?
