                 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, 1997. 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, 1997 and 1996, total revenues 
decreased 0.6% from $656,747 to $652,761 and total expenses increased 15.6% 
from $348,105 to $402,431.  As a result, net  income  decreased 18.9% from 
$308,642 for the three month period ended September 30, 1996, to $250,330 for 
the same period in 1997. The slight revenue decrease can be primarily attributed
to a decrease in  rental  income as a  result of  lower  unit  rental rates
partially offset by higher occupancy rates.  Operating expenses increased
approximately $58,600 (19.5%) primarily due to increases in maintenance and
repair expenses and salaries and wages.  General and administrative expenses
decreased approximately $4,300 (8.9%) primarily as a result of 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.  Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities
averaged 86.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, compared
to 85.1% for the same period in 1996.  The Partnership is continuing its
marketing efforts to  attract and  keep  new  tenants in its  various  mini-
storage facilities.

For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, and 1996, total revenues 
decreased 0.4% from $1,907,844 to $1,900,046 and  total  expenses  increased
10.9% from $1,073,952 to $1,191,538.  As a result, net income decreased 15.0%
from $833,892 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $708,508 for
the same period in 1997.  The reason for the decrease in revenues can be
primarily attributed to a decrease in late fees as rental income remained
constant.  Operating expenses increased approximately $109,100 (12.1%)
primarily due to increases in yellow pages advertising costs, maintenance and
repair expenses and salaries and wages.  General and administrative expenses
increased approximately $8,500 (5.0%) primarily as a result of an increase in
Colorado State Taxes which were levied for the first time, 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.

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.
