Can anyone elaborate if these are the hot tip for people that don't care about this stuff (expats?) to get a cheap place, or not so much in reality? Seems like an obvious thing, so I bet it isn't ;)

There's apparently somebody who is way ahead of you: find all of the apartments that fit this description, scope down to ones which are otherwise desirable, rent them with the intention of Airbnbing them.

Maybe even become ordained so you can exchange free rent for a cleansing.

There is definitely an absurd comic anime plot in there somewhere.

Is it even possible for an expat to become a Shinto priest?

Yes. A 27 year old Austrian man became a Shinto priest in Japan.
