Analyze your needs carefully.
I have three bandsaws. Two are rinky dink 9-10" thingies that do about 95% of the work you describe.
Otoh, I do have a laguna 14SUV for resawing which has basically replaced the tablesaw for almost all straight cuts, but it needed a proper dust collector to function right, which required a hefty renovation to fit, overall a bit more than a 10k investment.
Look around on Craigslist, I'm sure you can find something serviceable for 4-500$...
