Look in Genesis and elsewhere, and it will become clear that Judaism never discouraged ownership. On the contrary, private property is a basic concept in the Torah. Unlike certain groups that demanded and still demand 50% and even 100% tithing, Judaism makes no such demand. There are tithes to give, but these today constitute 10% of one's earnings, and in Temple times constituted about 20%, some of which (maaser sheni) the owner himself could consume (Deuteronomy ch.14). Beyond these, one's property is inviolable in Judaism.
