'very little money' 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?

'tip a cent? that's ridiculous' is the wordplay.
'that's ridiculous' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tip'+'a'+'cent'='tipacent'
'tipacent' is an anagram of 'PITTANCE'.

'it's' acts as a link.
