		QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
                        OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We  are  pleased  to  enclose  the  Partnership's  unaudited  financial
statements  for  the  period  ended  September 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  September 30, 2001  and  2000,  total
revenues  increased  2.9%  from  $782,414 to $805,170 and total expenses de-
creased 8.9% from $494,737 to $450,307 and other income decreased from $1,891
to $783.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture increased
34.5% from $29,487 to $39,652.  As a result, net income increased 21.5% from
$260,081 to $315,994 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, as
compared to the same period in 2000.  Rental  revenue  increased as a result
of higher unit  rental  rates.  Occupancy  levels for the  Partnership's six
mini-storage facilities  averaged  87.8% for  the three-month  period  ended
September 30, 2001 as compared to 87.7% for the  same  period in 2000.  The
Partnership is  continuing its  marketing efforts to  attract and  keep new
tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.  Operating expenses decreased
approximately  $50,700  (11.2%) due  primarily to  decreases in  advertising,
salaries  and  wages, security  alarm  services  and  depreciation  expenses,
partially offset by an increase in maintenance and repair expense.  The de-
crease in depreciation is the result of one of the Partnership's properties
being  fully  depreciated.  General  and  administrative  expenses  remained
relatively constant.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture
increased as a result of lower operating expenses at that facility, primarily
as a  result  of a  decrease in  depreciation  expense  due to the  property
being fully depreciated as of December 31, 2000.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, and 2000, total revenues
increased  9.5% from $2,184,154 to $2,391,231 and  total  expenses  decreased
7.5% from $1,430,763 to $1,324,117 and other  income  decreased  from $5,456
to $2,965.  Minority interest in income of  real  estate joint  venture  in-
creased 43.6% from $87,868 to $126,136.  As a result, net  income  increased
40.7% from $670,979 to $943,943 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2001, as compared to the same period in 2000.  Rental revenue increased as a
result of higher occupancy and unit rental rates.  Operating expenses de-
creased approximately $105,900 (8.5%) due primarily to decreases in advertis-
ing, legal and professional,workers compensation  insurance, security  alarm
services and depreciation expenses, partially offset by increases in mainten-
ance and repair, property management fees, salaries and wage and power and
sweeping expenses.  Property management fees, which are based on rental
revenue, increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue.  Power and
sweeping expenses increased as a result of above normal snow removal costs
associated with heavy snowfalls in Illinois where Partnership properties are
located. General and administrative expenses remained relatively constant.
The increase in minority interest in income of real estate joint venture was
discussed above.

The  General Partners will  continue  their policy  of  funding improvements
and maintenance of Partnership  properties  with  cash  generated from
operations.  The  Partnership's financial resources  appear  to be adequate
to meet its needs.  The  General Partners anticipate distributions to 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
