		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, 2001.  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, 2001 and 2000, total revenues
increased 11.0% from $700,729 to $778,084, total expenses decreased 12.1%
from $472,822 to $415,684, other income decreased from $1,785 to $1,208 and
minority interest in income of real estate joint venture increased 34.8% from
$32,189 to $43,394.  As a result, net income increased 62.1% from $197,503
to $320,214 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001, as compared to
the same period in 2000.  The increase in revenue can be attributed to an
increase in rental income due to higher occupancy levels.  Occupancy levels
for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 85.8% for the three
month period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to 79.4% for the same period in
2000.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep
new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses
decreased by approximately $48,500 (12.2%) primarily as a result of decreases
in depreciation, yellow pages advertising costs, maintenance and repair and
workers compensation insurance expenses, partially offset by increases in
property management fees, salaries and wages and power and sweeping expenses.
The decrease in depreciation is the result of one of the Partnership's
properties being fully depreciated.  Property management fees, which are based
on rental revenue, increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue.
Power and sweeping expenses increased as a result of above normal snow removal
costs associated with heavy snow falls in areas of Illinois and Michigan where
Partnership facilities are located.  General and administrative expenses
decreased approximately $8,600 (11.4%) primarily as a result of decreases in
legal and professional and equipment and computer lease expenses.

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing
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.

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,
