When I wrote about mortgage leads back in January, I expressed a bit of frustration at the number of mortgage-related calls we receive here at ranchero indebto (courtesy of those pesky predictive dialers). Of course the offers come via snailmail, too … but they’re not annoying, whatsoever.

Online is a different story. Online, they’re almost always annoying. But Internet mortgage leads are quite hot, these days. At least that’s what one would be lead to believe when looking in the right places.

When the mortgage companies start chasing leads that are too young to vote, much less own a house, you know something is amiss. Yes indeed, my daughter must now be perceived by someone as a bona fide mortgage lead, because an offer landed in her mailbox this week. I don’t make this stuff up, folks … it’s all for real.

For the record, my daughter’s not the the Glengary mortgage lead that got away, either …
