                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 June 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 June 30, 2001, and 2000, total revenues
increased 4.3% from $756,917 to $789,397 and total expenses decreased 1.6%
from $444,089 to $436,787 and other income decreased from $2,913 to $1,652.
As a result, net income increased 12.2% from $315,741 for the three month
period ended June 30, 2000, to $354,262 for the same period in 2001.  The
revenue increase can be 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 87.6% for the three month period ended
June 30, 2001, compared to 88.0% for the same period in 2000.  The Partner-
ship is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants in
its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses decreased approxi-
mately $1,800 (0.5%) primarily due to a decrease in maintenance and repair
expenses, partially offset by an increase in salaries and wage expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased $5,500 (6.6%) as a result of
relatively insignificant fluctuations in various expenses.

For the six month  periods ended  June 30, 2001, and  2000,  total  revenues
increased 4.7% from $1,510,609 to $1,580,797 and total expenses decreased 2.2%
from $874,229 to $855,708 and other income decreased from $5,378 to $3,668.
As a result, net income increased 13.6% from $641,758 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, to $728,757 for the same period in 2001.  The revenue
increase can be attributed to an increase in rental revenue as a result of
higher occupancy and unit rental rates.  Operating expenses decreased approxi-
mately $12,400 (1.8%) primarily due to decreases in maintenance and repair
and workers compensation insurance expenses, partially offset by increases
in property management fees and salaries and wage expenses.  Property manage-
ment fees, which are based on rental revenue, increased as a result of the
increase in rental revenue.  General and admiistrative expenses decreased
approximately $6,100 (3.6%) primarily as a result of a decrease in equipment
and computer lease expenses.

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
                              By: DSI Properties, Inc., as
                              General Partner
