And canonically Ami's mother is an internist, not a a high-paid specialist or an administrator. A combination of inheritances and 100-year mortgages is my guess for both the Tsukinos and the Mizunos.

Rei lives at a shrine - not a half-lot-sized shrine tucked away in a corner somewhere, but one of the larger hilltop shrines. This is the easiest one to explain: it's a cultural location that's funded by donations and/or taxpayers.
