Cheap basement flooring options?

[Adam Craig]

This is a buy and hold rental I just closed on and I am looking for basement upgrade tips

This basement just had a full mold remediation done. The old tiles and drywall were taken out and this is what I am left with. I havnt seen any water but I am afraid to do anything like carpet until I know if there is moisture. Any benefit of trying to make this nice or should I just leave it as a grungy basement with a washer/dryer.

I will be paying a contractor approx $25/hour for work. So please tell me the most bang for your buck upgrades you would do.
