Need more information. It has $28,000 worth of damage and is worth $170,000. How much do you owe? If you owe $150,000 then my answer might be different than if you owed $62,000. And if you sell it, what will you do with the proceeds? Could you buy a better investment and get a better return?
Why will it cost you $28,000 to renovate? Doesn't this qualify for an insurance claim?
