4 (3) In addition to the requirements in paragraph two of this subdivi-
5 sion, when the grantor or grantee of a deed for a building used as resi-
6 dential real property containing up to four family dwelling units,
7 including condominiums and cooperatives, is a limited liability company
8 and the purchase is not secured by a mortgage, the joint return shall
9 not be accepted for filing unless it is accompanied by a document which
10 identifies the source or sources of funds used for the purchase, includ-
11 ing the type of funding used, the bank account information of any funds
12 used in the purchase and the amount used by each source of funds. If
