                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, 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 June 30, 2002, and 2001, total revenues
decreased 12.1% from $789,397 to $693,646 and total expenses increased 9.1%
from $436,787 to $476,466 and other income decreased from $1,652 to $359.
As a result, net income decreased 38.6% from 354,262 for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2001, to $217,539 for the same period in 2002.  The
revenue decrease can be attributed to a decrease in rental income as a re-
sult of lower occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the
Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 84.4% for the three-
month ended June 30, 2002, compared to 87.6% 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 $27,500 (7.8%) primarily due to increases in de-
preciation, advertising, maintenance and repair, 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 decrease in rental revenue.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $12,200 (14.2%)
as a result increases in legal and professional and equipment and computer
lease expenses, partially offset by a decrease in incentive management fees.
Incentive management fees, which are based on cash available for distribution,
decreased as a result of the decrease in net income.

For the six-month  periods ended  June 30, 2002, and  2001,  total revenues
decreased 9.6% from $1,580,797 to $1,429,008, total expenses increased 7.2%
from $855,708 to $917,641 and other income decreased from $3,668 to $696.
As a result, net income decreased 29.7% from $728,757 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, to $512,063 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 $54,100 (7.8%) primarily due to increases in depreciation, main-
tenance and repair, office supplies, salaries and wages, workers compensation
insurance and bank and credit card fee expenses, partially offset by decreases
in advertising and property management fee expenses. The decrease in property
management fees was discussed above.  General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $7,800 (4.7%) as a result increases in legal and
professional and equipment and computer lease expenses, partially offset by
a decrease in incentive management fees. The decrease in incentive manage-
ment 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 corporation 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 recommendedthat 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 Partnership.

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
