                QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
                     OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VI


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited financial statements for
the period ended September 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 September 30, 2001 and 2000, total revenues
decreased 2.7% from $803,919 to $782,190 and total expenses decreased 2.4%
from $442,232 to $431,582 and other income decreased from $3,102 to $1,324.
As a result, net income decreased 3.5% from $364,789 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000, to $351,932 for the same period in 2001.  The revenue
decrease can be attributed to a decrease in rental income as a result of lower
occuapncy rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage
facilities averaged 88.4% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001,
compared to 90.1% for the same period in 2000.  The Partnerhsip is continuing
its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-
storage facilities.  Operating expenses decreased approximately $22,700 (5.9%)
primarily due to decreases in advertising, maintenance and repair,salaries and
wages and postage expenses, partially offset by an increase in office supply
expense.  General and administrative expenses increased $12,000 (21.7%) as a
result of relatively insignificant fluctuations in various expense accounts.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, and 2000, total revenues
increased 2.1% from $2,314,528 to $2,362,987 and total expenses decreased
2.2% from $1,316,461 to $1,287,290 and other income decreased from $8,480 to
$4,992.  As a result, net income increased 7.4% from $1,006,547 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, to $1,080,689 for the same period in 2001.
The revenue increase can be attributed to an increase in rental revenue as a
result of higher unit rental rates. Operating expenses decreased approximately
$35,100 (3.2%) primarily due to decreases in advertising, maintenance and
repair, workers compensation insurance and postage expenses, partially offset
by increases in property management fees, office supplies and salaries and
wages expenses.  Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue,
increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue.  General and admin-
istrative  expenses  increased  approximately $5,900 (2.6%) as a result of
relatively insignificant fluctuations in various expense accounts.

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
send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund VI, P.O. Box 357, Long
Beach, California 90801.

                              Very truly yours,

                              DSI Realty Income Fund VI

                              General Partner
