		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, 2003.  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, 2003  and  2002, total
revenues decreased 10.6% from $787,933 to $704,751 and total expenses in-
creased 12.4% from $434,102 to $488,141 and other income decreased from $224
to $131.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased
16.6% from $36,115 to $30,124.  As a result, net income decreased 41.3% from
$317,940 to $186,617 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003, as
compared to the same period in 2002.  Rental revenue decreased as a result
of lower occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partner-
ship's six mini-storage facilities averaged 78.3% for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 83.3% for the same period in 2002.
The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new
tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses decreased
approximately $15,700 (4.1%) due primarily to a decrease in property manage-
ment fee, office supplies, salaries and wages, travel and power and sweeping
expenses, partially offset by increases in advertising, real estate tax
expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $69,800
(138.9%) primarily as a result of an increase in legal expense, partially
offset by a decrease in equipment and computer lease expenses.  Legal expense
increased as a result of legal challenges by dissident Limited Partners to a
proposed  amendment to the  Partnership  Agreement (see paragraph below).
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased as a result
of lower rental revenue at that facility.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, and 2002, total revenues
decreased 7.5% from $2,359,578 to $2,182,906 and total expenses decreased 0.2%
from $1,387,028 to $1,384,727 and other income decreased from $635 to $278.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 5.9% from
$106,042 to $99,813.  As a result, net income decreased 19.4% from $867,143
to $698,744 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, as compared
to the same period in 2002.  Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower
occupancy and unit rental rates.  Operating expenses decreased approximately
$59,500 (5.0%) due primarily to decreases in maintenance and repair, property
management fees, office supplies, salaries and wages, workers compensation
insurance, security alarm services and travel expenses, partially offset by
increases in advertising, telephone and real estate tax expenses.  General and
administrative expenses increased approximately $57,200 (27.7%) as a result of
increases in legal and professional expenses, partially offset by a decrease
in equipment and computer expenses.  The increase in legal expenses was dis-
cussed above.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture de-
creased as discussed above.

On April 5, 2002, the General Partners received a copy of a hostile tender
offer from MacKenzie Patterson, Inc. and associated corporations and limited
partnerships to purchase all of the Units in the Partnership.  This offer was
also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date. The
General Partners have determined that the hostile tender offer was not in the
best interests of the Limited Partners, that the tender offer was grossly in-
adequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the
inherent value of the Units, and recommended that the Limited Partners reject
the hostile tender offer and not tender their Units pursuant thereto. The
offer was subsequently increased and extended to June 30, 2002 and again to
July 22, 2002.  The General Partners' initial determination regarding the
offer did not change. Prior to the expiration date of the offer, Limited
Partners tendered 22 Units representing 0.072% of the outstanding Units of
the Partnership.

The Limited Partners have approved an amendment to the Partnership Agreement
granting the General Partners ten days to review certain types of transfers
during which the General Partners may match, exceed for approve the proposed
transfers.  The Court has rejected all preliminary attempts to halt implement-
ation of the amnedment.  Subsequently, the dissident Limited Partners who
initiated the legal proceedings decided not to pursue the matter any further.

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  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.
