developer, how to approach him?

Hi, 

There is a developer who is creating a large complex with 1/2/3 bedrooms within 10 miles from me.  I want to approach him and ask him if I can learn from him maybe on the weekend or evenings as I currently work full time, how would I ask him this.  I was thinking of saying, "hi, my name is Al and shake his hand.  I see you are doing something great for the area.  I have an interest in properties and hopefully one day I can be in your shoes doing something like this.  Would you like to go to Starbucks and have coffee as I wanted to ask how you do this and if you don't mind I would like to work for you free and shadow you and learn how you do this, what do you think". I know the worst he can say is no or I am busy etc etc.  Please share your thoughts on this as my goal is within 10 years I want to stop the rat race and have a passive income of over 6 figures a year.

Bring him a deal, ask for his opinion and analysis on it, and offer him equity or portion of the deal if he helps you through it. That's how I got started. If he says no ping me, I'll take a look.
