		QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
			OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited consolidated financial
statements  for  the  period  ended  March 31, 2004.  The  following  is
Management's  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  Partnership's  financial
condition  and  results  of  its  operations.

For the three month  periods ended  March 31, 2004 and 2003, total  revenues
decreased 7.8% from $763,313 to $704,032, total expenses decreased 1.2% from
$449,020 to $443,710, other income decreased from $136 to $130 and minority
interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 16.3% from $38,184
to $31,941.  As a result, net income decreased 17.3% from $276,245 to $228,511
for the three-month  period ended  March 31, 2004, as  compared to the  same
period in 2003.  The decrease in revenue can be attributed to a decrease in
rental income due to lower occupancy rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partner-
ship's six mini-storage facilities averaged 73.4% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2004 as compared to 78.9% for the same period in 2003.  The
Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants
in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses remained constant
as decreases in maintenance and repair and property management fee expenses
was offset by increases in advertising, office supplies and salaries and wages
expenses.  General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $5,500
(7.2%) primarily as a result of a decrease in equipment and computer lease
expense.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing
improvement and maintenance of  Partnership properties with  cash generated
from operations.  The Partnership's  resources appear to be adequate to meet
its needs.  The  General  Partners  anticipate  distributions to the Limited
Partners to  remain at the  current  level  for  the  foreseeable  future.

We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth
therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund IX, P.O. Box 357, Long
Beach, California 90801.

                              Very truly yours,

                              DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX

4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Partnership evaluated
the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures.  This evaluation
was performed by the Partnership's Controller with assistance of the Partner-
ship's President and Chief Executive Officer.  These disclosure controls and
procedures are designed that the information required to be disclosed by the
Partnership in its periodic reports filed with Securities and Exchange
Commission (the Commission) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified by the Commission's rules and forms, and
that the information is communicated to the certifying officers on a timely
basis.  Based on this evaluation, the Partnership concluded that its dis-
closure controls and procedures were effective.  There have been no signif-
icant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect the  internal contorls subsequent to the date of
their evaluation.
