I have a good friend that is considering getting his first house. I know of a good number of resources for gaining information about investing in real estate, but not on a personal residence. Could you recommend any websites, books etc?

I feel that there really isn't much difference between an investment/personal residence since in both cases you are trying to get the most bang for your buck.

I am worried that the criteria for an investment property will never fit the properties he is looking at, but would rather keep it real than steer him in the wrong direction.
