Purple is by far the best for farming.
It depends. Sure, you might be able to gross more from Purple - but if you miss a couple of collections then you really aren't netting that much now, are you?
Personally I prefer white houses. You can pack twice as many into the same square of land, and hitting my game twice a day is pretty easy so I net far more with them than the others (and I've tried purple and blue, and brown for about half a day before saying "nuts to this").
Initial cost is pretty much irrelevant - over time I will obliterate any initial cost difference with the dramatically better long term income.
