Brush up on building code requirements: in basements you're looking for egress windows that are 5.7 sq feet or more openable (3ft by 3ft casement style windows work best), and ceiling heights 6ft 8 inches or greater (as little as 6 ft 4 inches is ok under ductwork and beams though)3.

I would rent it now, brush up on your development and architectural plans and build in a few years and sell for the highest price per sq ft.

There is much more to painting than opening a can of paint and picking up a brush.

You can easily make broad brush assumptions about smokers and non-smokers and most of them are true.  

I might grab a paint brush if the mood suits me, change a light bulb, sweep cobwebs out of an entry, etc.

A bunch of folks have muddled the Sub2 pond so with a broad brush Brother @James Wise said it was always slimy.  

In general I find that painting any group with a broad brush is counterproductive and a waste of time.

So when you start slinging a paint brush and/or swinging a hammer, you are working for free unless you pay yourself an hourly or per-the-job wage at market rates. 

@Thomas S.I'd caution to not broad brush certain things.
