		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  June 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  June 30, 1997,  and  1996,  total
revenues  increased  7.4% from  $608,647 to $653,687  and total  expenses
increased 6.4%  from  $403,379 to $429,341.  Minority  interest in income
of real estate joint venture increased 5.6% from  $20,615 to $21,764.  As
a result, net income increased 9.7% from $184,653 to $202,582 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1997, as  compared to the  same period in 1996.
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged
87.8%  for the  three month period ended  June 30, 1997, as compared to 85%
for the same period in 1996.  Rental revenue increased as a result of higher
occupancy and unit rental rates.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing
efforts  to  attract  and  keep  new  tenants in  its  various  mini-storage 
facilities.  Operating  expenses  increased  approximately  $16,900 (4.7%) 
primarily as a  result of higher yellow pages advertising  costs, fire  and
liability insurance, salaries and wages and property management fee expenses
partially  offset  by  lower  maintenance and  repair  expenses.  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 $9,100 (19.61%) primarily as a result of Colorado
State Taxes, which were levied for the first time.

For the six  month  periods ended  June 30, 1997, and 1996, total  revenues
increased 6.3%  from  $1,217,182 to $1,293,248 and  total expenses increased
3.6% from $816,492 to $846,096.  Minority  interest in income of real estate
joint  venture  decreased  2.7%  from  $42,961 to $41,810.  As a result, net
income increased  13.3% from  $357,729 to  $405,342 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1997, as  compared to the  same period in 1996.  The increase
in revenue is the result of an  increase in rental  income offset  partially
by a decrease in  income from U-Haul commissions.  Rental  income  increased
as a result of higher occupancy and  unit rental rates.  Operating  expenses
increased approximately $21,800 (3.1%) due  primarily to increases in yellow
pages  advertising  costs,  salaries and wages, fire and liability insurance
and property  management fee  expenses  partially  offset  by a  decrease in
maintenance and  repair and  real  estate tax  expenses.  The  increase in
salaries and wages is primarily due to a  non-recurring termination  payment
to  a  facility  manager.  The  increase in  property  management fees  was 
discussed above.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately
$7,800 (6.5%) for the same reason as discussed above.

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.
