I am now trying to decide if its worth the extra $1000 for the upgrade with full solid wood, painted, AND soft close.  

The unit that is not updated, I've already done significant upgrades like flooring, new trim, doors, appliances and current tenant accepted my increase to $850/MO.

I'll sound like a broken record, but STRs definitely hold a lot of hidden costs and regulations.

I then used most of these proceeds to upgrade the properties and make them more valuable.Now I’m looking to sell off my assets and reinvest the money in Florida utilizing 1031 exchanges. 

For example, a broken fridge door, broken window, holes in walls…Normally I would repair it but what if it’s becoming a constant thing?

@Chris Seveney  ok, in the meantime I heard from Shantee's mouth that Madison was upgrading their portal "hugely" in April and May of 2020.

Then after stabilization after upgrades we began to sell (usually in the form similar but different than a RTO)  the homes off to tenants.
