Inspection advice greatly appreciated.

After months and months I finally got one of my offers accepted on an out of state property in Atlanta. This is a first for me. I'm planning to fly out to see the property and neighborhood with my own two eyes (for personal comfort if nothing else). However, I'm wondering if I should fly out before the inspection to witness it in person. Or wait to see that the inspection report doesn't turn up any dealbreakers, before shelling out a grand for airfare. Does anyone have any thoughts on how important it is to be present for the inspection?

Moreover, are there any other specialized inspections that I should be sure to get done? I'm planning on a termite inspection. What about radon testing? mold and air quality?

Also, if anyone in metro Atlanta has any home inspectors they strongly recommend please feel free to suggest. Currently I'm debating between:
http://www.accuspectga.com/ and http://www.callinspectall.com/

Lastly, if any of you Atlanta pros are interested in coming to see the property with me simply to give your opinion of whether it's a safe investment, I'd be happy to compensate you at a rate you value your time at, or whatever we agree is fair. I value experienced opinions. Below is a link to the property: http://www.redfin.com/GA/Lawrenceville/1964-Watercrest-Cir-30043/home/24887058

Thanks, Rob
