Any Canadians with US investments who've crossed the border successfully recently?

Since the new administration, there is nothing but stories of Canadians (and others) being denied at the border. As a Canadian, I have never experienced this much hostility for investing my money in the US but it seems even people going for business or have business or investments, have in fact been denied. I have 2 investment properties in Detroit and not only do I love visiting Detroit but I like to check on my properties periodically. I don't want to risk getting denied because they deem it as "working in the US" 

Would love to hear if anyone has visited recently and what their experience has been.

I get pulled into secondary inspection and questioning on a regular basis since I started in 2013.  I got to the point where I had to get an e2 visa.  However came across just yesterday for vacation and had no issues, but was with family.

Too funny when the shoe is on the other foot.. I bought a home in Kelowna BC and was going back and forth between Portland almost weekly.. about 6 months in CAD immigration starts pulling me over and grilling me.. IE you taking a job from a Canadian etc etc.. I said nope I just bought a brand new home on the Oakangan golf course furnished it.. I am not using any social services just spending money :).. Well got tired of it sold the house and now I just visit to go fly fishing. And god forbid your hispanic trying to cross into CAD  I have seen them tear those folks cars apart and turn them around.. well that was 2002.. :)
