Property that could be stripped (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assets

'property that could be stripped' is the definition.
'assets' can be an answer for 'property' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the rest of the definition.

'property that could be' is the wordplay.
'property' becomes 'asset' (I've seen this before).
'that could be' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'asset'+'s'='ASSETS'

(Other definitions for assets that I've seen before include "Property owned by person or business" , "Resources or holdings ( 6)" , "Advantages" , "worldly goods" , "Valuables, things worth having" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
