OK so here is a short list of must haves for reloading equipt:
Press
Dies
Shell holders
Hand priming tool (sure some presses have a priming tool, but go the hand primer route)
Case trimmer(pilots, collets etc)
Chamfering and deburring tool
Primer pocket cleaner
Dial calipers
Case tumbler(media too)
Powder scale
Loading funnel
Loading block
Powder dispenser (rotory style)
Powder trickler
A manual or two.
Now for the extra things for the more niggly operations
Primer pocket depth uniformer
Falsh hole deburing tool
Case neck turner
A lot can be said about diffrent makes of equiptment but as a whole you do get what you pay for, so be warey of ridiculously low and disparaging prices.
As for manuals everyone has their favorites, but I feel Speer has one of the better how to sections at the front of their manual, and well the rest is pretty much available on the web.
As for no dedicated room, Well been there done that, and will never do it again. If you want good results and a hobby you will just love to do, having to hide it or take it down, just to set it up every time is not gonna give you any of the above. You dont need a stand alone room, but you need a space that is dedicated to your reloading, it should be tidy, well lit, and provide a degree of peace and tranquility.
Hope this helps.
Good luck
