I believe the answer is:

tip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'take mine' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'a little cash? be advised' is the wordplay.
'a little' means to remove the last letter (the word is not quite complete).
'cash?' becomes 'tin'.
'be advised' becomes 'p' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'tin' with its final letter taken off is 'ti'.
'ti'+'p'='TIP'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tip that I've seen before include "Overbalance; point" , "Warning" , "Hint, suggestion" , "Helpful suggestion" , "Point; sweetener" .)
