Townhomes/Multifamily

I'm facing a decision and was hoping to get some feedback from the BP community. I am looking to purchase my first investment property with no money down utilizing the VA home loan. I am able to do this via the multi-family route, or what Brandon likes to refer as "house hacking". It can be a duplex, triplex or fourplex, or townhomes that are part of the same building unit.
Should I shy away from the townhomes because of HOA? If you had the opportunity to house hack any multi-family property with no money down, what property would you start with?
