                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, 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 September 30, 2002 and 2001, total revenues
total revenues decreased 6.3% from $782,190 to $732,861 and total expenses in-
creased 8.7% from $431,582 to $468,967 and other income decreased from $1,324
to $379. As a result, net income decreased 24.9% from $351,932 for the three-
month period ended September 30, 2001, to $264,273 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
Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 84.5% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2002, compared to 88.4% 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 $52,000 (14.3%) primarily due to increases in maintenance and
repair, salaries and wages, postage and workers compensation insurance ex-
penses, partially offset by a decrease in office supplies expense. General
and administrative expenses decreased approximately $14,600 (21.6%) as a
result a decrease in incentive management fees, partially offset by an in-
crease 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.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, and 2001, total revenues
decreased 8.5% from $2,362,987 to $2,161,869, total expenses increased 7.7%
from $1,287,290 to $1,386,608 and other income decreased from $4,992 to $1,075.
As a result, net income decreased 28.2% from $1,080,689, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, to $776,336 for the same period in 2002. The revenue
decrease can be attributed to a decrease in rental revenue as a result of
lower occupancy and unit rental rates. Operating expenses increased approx-
imately $106,100 (10.1%) primarily due to increases in depreciation, telephone,
maintenance and repair, salaries and wages, workers compensation insurance,
security and alarm services, postage and bank and credit card fee 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 decrease in rental revenue. General and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $6,800 (2.9%) as a result a decrease in incentive management
fees, partially offset by increases in legal and professional and equipment
and computer lease expenses. The decrease in incentive management fees was
discussed above.

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 was not in the
best interests of the Limited Partners, that the tender offer was grossly
inadequate given the performance history of the Limited Partnership and the
inherent value of the Units, and recommended that the Limited Partners reject
the hostile tender offer and not tender their units pursuant thereto. The
offer was subsequently increased and extended to June 30, 2002 and again to
July 22, 2002. The General Partners' initial determination regarding the offer
has not changed. Prior to the expiration date of the offer, Limited Partners
tendered 85 Units representing 0.358% of the outstanding Units of the Partner-
ship.

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.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VI

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund VI (the "Partnership"), a limited partnership, has two
general  partners  (DSI Properties, Inc., and  Diversified Investors  Agency)
and limited partners owning 23,753 limited partnership units. The Partnership
was  formed  under the  California  Uniform  Limited  Partnership Act for the
primary  purpose  of  acquiring  and  operating  real  estate.

The  accompanying  financial information as of September 30, 2002, and for
the periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, is unaudited.  Such financial
information  includes all adjustments  which are considered necessary by the
Partnership's management for a  fair  presentation of the  results  for  the
periods  indicated.

2.   PROPERTY

Properties  owned  by  the  Partnership  are  all  mini-storage  facilities.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated
useful  life of 20  years.   The  total  cost  of  property and  accumulated
depreciation  at  September 30, 2002,  is  as  follows:



        Land                             $ 1,759,000
        Buildings and improvements         8,579,426
        Equipment                             38,710
        Total                             10,377,136
        Less: Accumulated Depreciation   ( 8,387,966)
        Property - Net                   $ 1,989,170


3.   NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Net  income  per  limited  partnership  unit is  calculated by  dividing the
net income allocated to  the  limited  partners  by the  number  of  limited
partnership  units  outstanding  during  the  period.


4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Partnership evaluated
the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation
was performed by the Partnership's Controller with the assistance of the
Partnership's President and the Chief Executive Officer. These disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required
to be disclosed by the Partnership in its periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Commission's
rules and forms, and that the information is communicated to the certifying
officers on a timely basis. Based on this evaluation, the Partnership con-
cluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have
been no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation.

statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
this quarterly report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and have:

    a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
    material information relating to the registrant, including its consoli-
    dated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
    particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being
    prepared;

    b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
    and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
    this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

    c)  presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the effec-
    tiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our evalu-
    ation as of the Evaluation Date;

5.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit com-
mitee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):

    a)  all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
    controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
    process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for the
    registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and

    b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
    employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal controls;
    and

6.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
quarterly report whether there were significant changes in internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls sub-
sequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and materinal weaknesses.
