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, 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 March 31, 1998 and 1997, total revenues 
increased 6.6% from $616,496 to $657,089 and total expenses decreased 0.8%
from $388,122 to $385,171.  As a result, net income increased 19.1% from
$228,374 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, to $271,918 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 85.1% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, compared to
83.6% 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 $6,900 (2.2%) primarily due to a
decrease in maintenance and repair expense, partially offset by an increase
in property management fees.  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 $4,000 (5.6%)
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 during the three month period ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.

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
