Great Info for first time home buyers!  Real Estate is a great investment - some people just don't realize how easy it can be to own their own home vs. renting.  They need to call YOU Kim---you're the professional and will walk them through the steps!!

Well done Kim! There are only a couple of things that jump to my mind...$3k only growing to $34k over 30 years???  What interest rate is that at?  It could be much more than that....though still not nearly what you would have as a homeowner.

Then the other thing would be to take your homeownership scenario a step further and show what their net woth would be with their property as well as maybe paying a little less towards principle and investing it at a good rate of return allowing them to see their options and what is really available to them.  There's a world of possibilities, we just have to open our clients eyes to them.  :)
