Cinder-block walls crumbling / leaning

Hello all, 

How have you repaired foundation issues with cinder-block walls that are crumbling. I wish I took photos, but I didn't have the opportunity.

I looked at a property today that has a cinder-block wall construction. The floors are sloping, and upon crawling in the crawl space I noticed that one side of the wall was crumbling underneath. I would assume water issues over time caused this, so drainage would need to be done at some point. How do you go about repairing this? It's an 900 square foot house on a decent sized lot. It has a 1,000 square foot garage on the property as well. It's in a run-down part of Denver, but the entire market is going crazy and the price is right at around $150K. 

I haven't done foundation work, but figured it's worth the gamble on this property. 

The garage also has cinder block walls that are leaning/separating from each other... how do fix this type of issue? 

Thanks for the help
