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, 1996. 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, 1996 and 1995, total revenues 
increased 1.4% from $647,700 to $656,747 and total expenses decreased 1.1% 
from $351,841 to $348,105.  As a result, net  income  increased 4.3% from 
$295,859 for the three month period ended September 30, 1995, to $308,642 for 
the same period in 1996. The revenue increase can be primarily attributed to 
an  increase in  rental  income as a  result of  higher  unit  rental rates. 
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 
85.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to 86.1%
for the same period in 1995.  The Partnership is continuing its  marketing  
efforts to  attract and  keep  new  tenants in its  various  mini-storage 
facilities. Operating expenses decreased approximately $4,000 (1.3%) primarily 
due to  decreases in  maintenance and  repair  expenses partially offset by 
increases in real estate tax expense and salaries and wages.  General  and  
administrative  expenses  remained  constant during the three month periods 
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. 

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, and 1995, total revenues 
increased 1.4% from $1,882,111 to $1,907,844 and total expenses increased
1.4% from $1,059,108 to $1,073,952. As a result, net income increased 1.3% from
$823,003 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $833,892 for the same
period in 1996.  The reason for the increase in revenues is the same as
discussed above for the three month period.  Operating expenses increased 
approximately $11,700 (1.3%) primarily due to an increase in real estate tax
expense and salaries and wages partially offset by a decrease in maintenance 
and repair expense.  General and administrative increased approximately
$3,100 (1.9%) primarily 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.
