Before you consider a house or start your own, ask yourself this: Am I producing results on my own merit? A house, much like a basketball team, thrives on the points that each member racks up and the participation of the team as a whole. So why be on a team if you don't care to play? No one ever strives to the benchwarmer!
A desired house member is a productive '007' or 'free agent' (they both mean you hold no affiliation to a house). Most house parents are looking for members that can be fine tuned, tweaked and slightly improved upon in order to uplift the house name as well as win trophies to continue their legacy. Some parents choose members on what could be while good parents choose based on what is good now and can be better later.
At one time, free agents ruled the ballscene having houses vie for their membership. Every house wants the next hot thing and if you never light your own match, you will never be hot. In this scene, it isn't who you know but rather who you sat down.

SO HOW DO I GET NOTICED BY A HOUSE?
EASY... WALK! If you show that you are willing to dedicate the time and energy in yourself and put your best face forward, houses will stop and pay attention. They want you to give a challenge. It forces their members to step their game up and gives them a formidable opponent. No one ever wants to win by being the only one walking. How many people do you know train to win by forfeit? The objective is show your skills and get public interest and snag the attention of a house willing to help you go farther than you did on your own.
