Re: Mandolin or Keyboard?
If you get a decent used brand name instrument e.g. for mandos a Kentucky km505 or a Yamaha P105 or up piano, there's not much risk financially, you should be able to sell either at about the same price as long as you haven't damaged/worn it out .
So I'm going to say both. My first instrument was piano, 2nd flute/clarinet, 3rd percussion, mostly mallets
Kentucky km900
Yamaha piano, clarinet, violin; generic cello;
a pedal steel (highly recommended); banjo, dobro don't get played much cause i'm considerate ;}
Shopping/monitoring prices: vibraphone/marimbas, rhodes, synths, Yamaha brass and double reeds
