items to fix up before selling my first house

We lived there for two years and turned it into rental. Now I am going to sell it.

I believe there are many people asked about the same question before, but I am still trying to debate whether I should fix up a few things.

1. redo the lawn. the back yard is abandoned when the renters were living there. costs about $2500 including labor.

2. sprinkler system is broken, a pipe under the concrete patio was leaking and cut a year ago. Have to find another way to lay the pipe. 

3. the third and small bathroom. it's tiny with a shower. It's in its original look, though still very clean. Two other larger bathrooms and kitchen of the house have been updated. It costs about min $4000

The house still have room to upgrade, windows, floors etc. It's a very expensive area on a hill side and the house will attract flippers as well. I am trying to target the owner buyer to get the best price I can.

Another concern is it is mid April and the house is empty. I want to sell it soon.

Any suggestion will be welcome.
