Just notified of a new assessment, $15,717 one-time (affordable) check only payment OR $308.22 added to monthly Bilt ACH payment for 60 months (total $18,493, ~18%). I’ll do all I can to have them do one-time payment by Bilt ACH but don’t expect success.

Much as I covet and adore miles and points, even with Bilt rent points being “free” (of additional fees) $2776 (over 5 years) seems like a high extra amount for an additional 18,493 Bilt points, ~$0.15 per point.

Wondering how others look at it. Thank you.
I'd try pushing that through Bilt as a one-time expense. Worst case, I guess, they close you down. But more likely, they'd just not give you points for that expense.
