Antenna mounted in attic? (self.amateur_radio)

How poorly would an attic mounted antenna perform? Obviously worse than something outside, I'm guessing, but how much worse?

My office has one of those "side attics." It has a half sized door. Mounting a long antenna in there is very tempting because of how much easier it would be than doing anything outside. It's on the second floor as well.

I might have a foil layer, now that you mention it. I didn't consider that.
