market rents at $1200/month (estimated through some research via google!)

We need some additional information to determine if this is a good deal or not.
First, we need to know what your short term/long term plan is with the property. Are you looking to keep this long term or just flip it next month?
What type of repairs will you be doing to increase value? Is the $1,200 market value the way it sits now or after repairs? Is the ROI based on the full purchase price of 95K and closing cost or based on 80K.
What type of loan are you doing and how much is your down payment?
I'm also personally interested in knowing why it was appraised in 2016 and again in 2017? Is the 2017 appraisal yours? Have you already made an offer and has it been accepted (Your post indicates you will be making an offer, but why would the property already have an appraisal on it?) That tells me there may have been another buyer that dropped the deal for some reason..
