Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!

I suggest having insulation put in interior adjoining walls. These walls are paper thin and do not appear to be the normal thickness of standard drywall.
Also have 3/4 in plywood or horizontal 2x4s put on walls you plan on hanging anything of substance.
I haven't seen any of the newer homes with mold on exterior walls. That happens if/when you have too much vegetation blocking the sun that allows mold to grow. I would go with a light color because the dark colors will attract more heat making your home much hotter.
