'cash' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'pole holding everyone up' is the wordplay.
'pole' becomes 'rod' (synonyms).
'holding' is an insertion indicator.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'rod' going around 'all' is 'rallod'.
'rallod' backwards is 'DOLLAR'.

'for' is the link.
