		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, 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  June 30, 2001,  and  2000,  total
revenues  increased 15.3% from  $701,010 to  $807,977  and total  expenses
decreased 1.1% from $463,204 to $458,126 and other income decreased from
$1,778 to $974.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture
increased 64.5% from $26,189 to $43,090.  As a result, net income increased
44.2% from $213,395 to $307,735 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2001, as compared to the same period in 2000.  Rental revenue increased as
a result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for
the Partnership's six mii-storage facilities averaged 88.6% for the three-
month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 81.8% for the same period
in 2000.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract
and keep new tenants in tis various mini-storage facilities.  Operating
expenses decreased approximately $6,600 (1.7%) due primarily to decreases
in yellow pages advertising costs and depreciation, partially offset by
increases in maintenance and repair, property management fees and salaries
and wage 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.  General and administrative expenses remained relatively
constant.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture increased
as a result of lower operating expenses at that facility, primarily as a
result of a decrease in depreciation expense due to the property being fully
depreciated as of December 31, 2000.

For the six  month  periods ended  June 30, 2001, and 2000, total  revenues
increased 13.1% from $1,401,739 to $1,586,061 and total expenses decreased
6.6% from $936,026 to $873,810 and other income decreased from $3,565 to
$2,182.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture increased
48.1% from $58,380 to $86,484.  As a result, net income increased 52.8% from
$410,898 to $627,949 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, as compared
to the same period in 2000.  Rental revenue increased as a result of hiher
occupancy and unit rental rates.  Operating expenses decreased approximately
$55,100 (6.9%) due primarily to decreases in yellow pages advertising costs,
legal and professional, workers compensation insurance and depreciation
expenses, partially offset by increases in property management fees, salaries
and wage and power and sweeping expenses.  The increase in property management
fees was discussed above.  Power and sweeping expenses increased as a result
of above normal snow removal costs associated with heavy snowfalls in Illinois
where Partnership properties are located.  General and administrative expenses
decreased approximately $7,100 (5.1%) primarily as a result of a decrease in
equipment and computer lease expenses.  The increase in minority interest in
income of real estate joint venture was 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.

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
