               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 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 5.0% from $753,692 to $791,400, total expenses decreased 2.6% from
$430,140 to $418,921 and other icome decreased from $2,465 to $2,016.  As a
result, net income increased 14.9% from $326,017 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, to $374,495 for the same period in 2001.  The revenue
increase can be attributed to an increase in rental income as a result of
higher occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partner-
ship's six mini-storage facilities averaged 86.5% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2001, compared to 84.6% 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
approximately $10,600 (3.0%) primarily due to decreases in yellow pages
advertising costs and maintenance and repair expense, partially offset by
increases in salaries and wages and property management fee expenses. 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 as an increase in incentive management fees was offset by
decreases in legal and professional and equipment and computer lease expenses.
Incentive management fees, which are based on cash available for distribution
increased as a result of the increase in net income.

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