Finished attic with no heat source, advertise as extra room?

[Kyle Curtin]

Good mornin’ BP!

        I currently have a huge finished attic on the third floor of one part of my 3 family (building is an “L” shape) that I had the original intent of turning into a 4th bedroom. After having the floors done and walls painted (was half finished before) , I realized that I was missing 2x things to be a bedroom, a closet and a source of heat (casually slipped my mind with everything going on with a reno downstairs lol). For this particular application, the optimal source of heat would be electric baseboard, but I am not sure how much it would cost to run a wire down 2 floors into the basement to tie into my panel, and this unit needs to be rented soon. I was thinking of simply calling it extra space or extra office space for the time being to get that unit rented until I can recover financially from some other big ticket repairs and get that vacancy out of my hands that I have had for a few months now. It is on the 3rd floor and has the heat load of the 2 floors below it, and I don’t picture it getting cold up there by any means but worst comes to worst the tenants can plug in heaters. What are your thoughts? 

Thank you so much!

Kyle

Have you considered adding a mini-split to the finished attic?
