With increased security checks and immigration issues in the United States, what do I need to tell the border officers when I cross the border (by car)? 

Unless it’s frangible (deteriorating), asbestos isn’t considered a health issue.

As I do not manage it has never been an issue for me. 

Outside of those issues, the house seems pretty decent, is in an up and coming neighborhood and the rental income will cover monthly expenses (M/I, Taxes, HOA+Utilities) comfortably.

Peeps still have to live somewhere and there is still some benefit to owning a home than renting .. it could just be over building in your area as well.. you see that a lot with condo developments the lag time to get them up is so long that by the time they come to market the market cant absorb more.Not sure in Austin other than there was from what I understand a large run up.. but I can see luxury pricing in Texas being an issue with the prop tax's that are quite a bit higher than other parts of the country but that is usually mitigated for texas residence who don't pay state income tax as there is none in Texas.. so I think texas for TExans is a great investment long term. 

If your concern with "overpaying" is due to fear of not getting appraised that is one issue, but if you're not worried about appraisal just think about how this deal works with your long term plan.
