I believe the answer is:

eyrie

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

'look over rental income tips that might appeal to high flyers' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'look over rental income tips' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'eye' (eyeing is a kind of looking).
'over' indicates putting letters inside.
'tips' indicates taking the first letters (tip can refer to the top end of something).
The first letters of 'rental income' is 'ri'.
'eye' placed around 'ri' is 'EYRIE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
