		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 September 30, 1997.  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 September 30, 1996, and  1995,  total
revenues increased 4.9% from $646,673 to $678,489 and total expenses increased
9.8% from $380,551 to $417,871.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased 2.0% from $24,134 to $24,611.  As a result, net income
decreased 2.5% from $241,988 to $236,007 for  the  three month  period ended
September 30, 1997, as  compared to the  same  period in 1996.  Rental revenue
increased  as a  result of  higher unit  rental rates.  Operating  expenses
increased approximately $35,200 (10.3%) primarily as a result of higher yellow
pages advertising costs, maintenance and repair and salaries and wages expenses.
General  and  administrative expenses remained constant.  Occupancy levels for
the  Partnership's six  mini-storage  facilities  averaged 85.9% for the three
month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared to 86.8% for the same period
in 1996.  The Partnership is  continuing its marketing  efforts to  attract and
keep  new  tenants in its  various  mini-storage  facilities.

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, and 1996, total revenues
increased 5.8% from $1,863,855 to $1,971,737 and total expenses increased 5.6%
from $1,197,043 to $1,263,967.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture decreased 1.0% from $67,095 to $66,421.  As a result, net income
increased 6.9% from $599,717 to $641,349 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996.  The increase in
revenue is primarily due to the increase in rental income as a result of higher
occupancy and unit rental rates.  Operating expenses increased approximately
$57,000 (5.5%) due primarily to increases in yellow pages advertising costs,
salaries and wages, fire and liability insurance, property management fees and
maintenance and repair expenses.  The increase in salaries and wages is
primarily due to a non-recurring termination payment to a facility manager.
Property management fees which are based on rental revenue, increased as a
result of the increase in rental revenue.  General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $9,900 (6.2%) primarily as a result of Colorado State
Taxes, which were levied for the first time.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding  improvements 
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.
