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 March 31, 1996. 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 March 31, 1996 and 1995, total revenues 
decreased 1.7% from $614,589 to $625,048 and total expenses increased 7.1% 
from $346,289 to $370,897.  As a result, net income increased 5.3% from 
$268,300 for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, to $254,151 for 
the same period in 1996. 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 84% for the three 
month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The Partnership is continuing 
its  marketing  efforts to  attract  and  keep  new  tenants in its various 
mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses increased approximately $22,600 
(8.3%)  primarily due to an increase in maintenance and repair, real estate
tax expense and salaries and wages, partially offset by lower yellow pages
advertising  costs.  General  and  administrative  expenses  increased 
approximately $2,000 (2.7%) primarily as a result of relatively insignificant
fluctuations in various expense accounts. 

The General Partners plan to continue their policy of funding the continuing 
improvement 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,
