What to ask or say to a current owner not looking to sell rental property

[Daniel Alegre]

Around my block there is a 4/5plex that has been had a for rent sign outside for over a year. I have looked online for info on the rental but i can't seem to find any. The lack of any online info makes me thinks that the owner is not internet savvy and/or not very motivated to put effort into the property. So i was thinking that perhaps they may be willing to sell.

I am not in the position to purchase it even if he said yes but i was thinking i could offer i could bring it to the attention of some investor friend's or perhaps a co-wholesale it .

What do you say or ask to an owner who doesn't have the property up for sale. I dont want to just call and say "Hi , would you be interested  in selling your property" as i feel that may just seem shady. Perhaps im overthinking things but is there a script that i could follow for this situation. thanks in advance.
