How to approach homeowner?

[Jed Reisner]

I've been reading about wholesaling properties and I'd like to try.  I've spotted at house in my neighborhood that is run down and overgrown.  It also has an empty lot next to it that appears to be part of the property.  It's a very dense and desired neighborhood. I can't tell who lives there if anyone, but, I've occasionally seen a car and I suspect an old guy. 

How would I approach someone like this and see if they would consider selling?  There's no reason to think they would, but, it looks like a very valuable lot to me that isn't being used well.

If you go into the file share section of this site I uploaded an ebook titled Driving For Dollars " that would help you with how to talk to the owner.  There is even a call script that I use in the book.  Check it out!!!
