               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, 2002. 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, 2002 and 2001, total revenues
decreased 7.1% from $791,400 to $735,362, total expenses increased 5.3% from
$418,921 to $441,175 and other income decreased from $2,016 to $337.  As a
result, net income decreased 21.4% from $374,495 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2001, to $294,524 for the same period in 2002.  The revenue
decrease can be attributed to a decrease in rental income as a result of
lower occupancy and unit rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partner-
ship's six mini-storage facilities averaged 84.7% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2002, compared to 86.5% for the same period in 2001.  The
Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new
tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses increased
approximately $26,600 (7.8%) primarily due to increases in depreciation, office
supplies, salaries and wages and workers compensation insurance expenses,
partially offset by a decrease in property management fee expense. Property
management fees, which are based on rental revenue, decreased as a result of
the increase in rental revenue.  General and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $4,400 (5.5%) as a decrease in incentive management fees was
partially offset by an increase in equipment and computer lease expense.
Incentive management fees, which are based on cash available for distribution,
decreased as a result of the decrease in net income.

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 is not in the
best interests of the Limited Partners, that the tender offer is grossly in-
adequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the
inherent value of the units, and recommend that the Limited Partners reject
the hostile tender offer and not tender their units pursuant thereto.

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
