So I will be moving to the Detroit-Windsor area this summer.

Since I am Canadian citizen, plan to live in Windsor, work in downtown Detroit. My plan is to rent in Windsor for myself.

But I am also thinking off buying property in detroit [[downtown?) as an investment. Like an apartment or condo [[1 bedroom), and renting it out to someone.

Is this a good idea? And if it is,

1) How much would a 1 bedroom in downtown area cost?
2) What is a good area to buy right now?
3) We would probably plan to sell in 3-5 years, is it worth it as an investment?


Or am I wasting my time and should stick to renting my own spot in Windsor?

Thanks!
