I think the chances of that much damage being done are low but anyways my plan was to owner occupy with an FHA loan and my loan officer told me I can't get the loan because of this issue.I'm curious what others think of this situation and if anyone has run into an issue like this.

I think you can also have a police officer deliver it for you but I have always done it myself.

Dube could be persuaded to revise their work.Finally, if you are interested in commercial real-estate (larger apartment buildings, office complexes, strip malls, factories, etc) then "Commercial Real Estate Investing" by the father and son team of Pierre & Claude Boiron, while a little pricey and fairly Ontario centric in its examples and some of its material, is one of the most thorough introductory references you will find.
