		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, 2000.  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, 2000,  and  1999,  total
revenues decreased 4.4% from $735,285 to $702,788 and total expenses increased
1.4% from $456,759 to $463,204.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture decreased 11.5% from $29,576 to $26,189.  As a result, net income
decreased 14.3% from $248,950 to $213,395 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999.  Rental revenue de-
creased as a result of lower occupancy levels, partially offset by higher unit
rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage
facilities averaged 81.8% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to 83.6% for the same period in 1999.  The Partnership is continuing
its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-
storage facilities.  Operating expenses remained relatively constant, with in-
creases in yellow pages advertising costs and maintenance and repair expenses
being offset by decreases in salaries and wages and miscellaneous advertising
expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased approximately $4,900
(8.2%) primarily as a result of an increase in legal and professional expense.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased as a result
of a decrease in rental revenue at that facility.

For the six  month  periods ended  June 30, 2000, and 1999, total  revenues
decreased 2.7% from $1,443,628 to $1,405,304 and total expenses decreased
1.2% from $947,563 to $936,026.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased 5.7% from $55,225 to $58,380.  As a result, net in-
come decreased 6.8% from $440,840 to $410,898 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999.  The decrease in
revenue can be attributed to a decrease in rental revenue as discussed above.
Operating expenses decreased approximately $19,700 (2.4%) due primarily to
decreases in maintenance and repair, salaries and wages, workers compensation,
power and sweeping expenses, partially offset by an increase in yellow pages
advertising costs.  Power and sweeping expenses decreased as the substantial
snow removal costs in the prior year associated with the blizzard that hit
Illinois, where two of the Partnership's properties are located, did not
materialize in the current year.  General and administrative expenses in-
creased approximately $8,200 (6.2%) primarily as a result of increases in
legal and professional and equipment and computer lease expenses.  Minority
interest in income of real estate joint venture increased as a result of
lower operating expenses at that facility.

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.
