Current value due to its condition +renovation price <<< than what I could probably get on the market.
Sorry to hear that. Might be a situation where you just want to cut your losses. I'm sure you could sell it "as is" as long as you disclosed the foundation issues and it would sell at a highly discounted price to market. This issue is what you have in the property- hopefully you aren't in too deep or haven't cashed out on a ref.

Could be the definition of a money pit...
