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, 1998. 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, 1998 and 1997, total revenues 
increased 8.5% from $652,761 to $708,070 and total expenses decreased 9.0%
from $402,431 to $366,100.  As a result, net income increased to 6.6% from
$250,330 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997, to $341,970 for
the same period in 1998.  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 Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged
87.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 1998, compared to 86.7%
for the same period in 1997.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing
efforts to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.
Operating expenses decreased approximately $43,100 (12.0%) primarily due to
decreases in maintenance and repair and salaries and wage expenses, partially
offset by increases in property management fees and real estate tax expense.
Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue, increased as a
result of the increase in rental revenue.  General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $6,800 (15.5%) primarily as a result of an increase in
incentive management fees.  Incentive management fees, which are based on cash
available for distribution, increased as a result of the increase in net
income.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998, and 1997, total revenues
increased 8.3% from $1,900,046 to $2,058,300 and total expenses decreased 0.8%
from $1,191,538 to $1,182,472.  As a result, net income increased 23.6% from
$708,508 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, to $875,828 for the
same period in 1998.  The reason for the increase in revenues is the same as
discussed above for the three-month period.  Operating expenses decreased
approximately $26,700 (2.6%) primarily due to same reasons as discussed for
the three-month period above.  General and administrative expenses increased
approximately $17,600 (9.8%) for the same reason as discussed for the three-
month period above.

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.

The Year 2000 issue refers to the inability of certain computer systems to
recognize a date using "00" as the Year 2000.  The Partnership has implemented
a  Year  2000  program, which  has  three  phases:  (1) identification;
(2) remediation; and (3) testing and verification.  The Partnership, as well
as the property management company and the Partnership's warehouse facilities
have completed those phases.  Computer programs have been upgraded and tested
to function properly with respect to the dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter.
Year 2000 compliance costs are nominal and have been expensed in the regular
course of business.  The Partnership provides no assurance that third-party
suppliers and customers will be compliant.  Nevertheless, the Partnership
does not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse effect
on its financial condition or results of operations.
