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


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We  are  pleased  to  enclose  the  Partnership's  unaudited  financial
statements  for  the  period  ended  September 30, 1998.  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, 1998  and  1997,  total
revenues increased 6.2% from $678,489 to $720,419 and total expenses decreased
1.7% from $417,871 to $410,827.  Minority interest in income of  real estate
joint venture  increased 28.8% from $24,611 to  $31,688.  As a result, net
income increased 17.8% from $236,007 to $277,904 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1998, as  compared to the same period in 1997.  Rental
revenue  increased as a  result of  higher  occupancy and unit rental rates.
Occupancy  levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged
86.7% for  the three  month period  ended September 30, 1998, as compared to
85.9%  for the  same  period in  1997.  The  Partnership  is  continuing its
marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage
facilities.  Operating expenses decreased approximately $6,000 (1.6%) due
primarily to a decrease in salaries and wages and yellow pages advertising
costs, partially offset by increases in maintenance and repair expenses and
property management fees.  General  and  administrative  expenses  remained 
constant.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture increased
primarily as a result of higher rental revenue.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998, and 1997, total revenues
increased 4.5% from $1,971,737 to $2,060,579 and total expenses decreased 0.4%
from $1,263,967 to $1,259,492.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased 25.7% from $66,421 to $83,512.  As a result, net income
increased 11.9% from $641,349 to $717,575 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.  The increase in
revenue is primarily due to the increase in rental income as a result of higher
unit rental rates.  Operating expenses decreased approximately $9,300 (0.9%)
due primarily to decreases in yellow pages advertising costs and salaries and
wages, partially offset by an increase in real estate tax expense, maintenance
and repair expense and property management fees.  The decrease in salaries and
wages is primarily due to a non-recurring termination payment to a facility
manager in the prior year.  General and administrative expenses increased
approximately $4,800 (2.9%) as a result of relatively insignificant
fluctuations in various expense accounts.  Minority interest in income of real
estate joint venture increased primarily as a result of higher rental revenue
and lower yellow pages advertising costs and salaries and wage expense.

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

The Year 2000 issue refers to the inability of certain computer systems to
recognize a date using "00" as the Year 2000.  The Partnership has implemented
a Year 2000 program, which has three phases: (1) identification;
(2) remediation; and (3) testing and verification.  The Partnership, as well
as the property management company and the Partnership's warehouse facilities
have completed those phases.  Computer programs have been upgraded and tested
to function properly with respect to the dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter.
Year 2000 compliance costs are nominal and have been expensed in the regular
course of business.  The Partnership provides no assurance that third-party
suppliers and customers will be compliant.  Nevertheless, the Partnership
does not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material advrse effect
on its financial condition or results of operations.

Securities and Exchange Commission since all the information set forth 
therein is contained either in this letter or in the attached financial
