I also want to have a sense of detachment from owning things, which is hard since I was raised by very acquisitive parents (my mom shopped for a hobby), so I am still unlearning those habits.

Here is my take on the skills every homeowner or landlord needs to have. Heck, even to make an offer on your dream home, you have to negotiate with your spouse and family! They wanted all new furniture for their home so they shopped around to find the store they wanted to use. Skills that will save you big bucks over time.
