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


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited consolidated financial
statements  for  the  period  ended  June 30, 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  June 30, 1998,  and  1997,  total
revenues increased 4.1% from $653,687 to $680,298 and total expenses increased
1.3% from $429,341 to $435,006.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased 24.2% from $21,764 to $27,036.  As a result, net income
increased 7.7% from $202,582 to $218,256 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. Rental revenue increased
as a result of higher unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's
six mini-storage facilities averaged 83.6% for the three month period ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to 87.8% 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 remained constant. General
and administrative expenses increased approximately $4,400 (8.0%) as a result
of relatively insignificant fluctuations in various expense accounts.  Minority
interest in income of real estate joint venture increased primarily as a result
of higher rental revenue.

For the six  month  periods ended  June 30, 1998, and 1997, total  revenues
increased 3.6% from $1,293,248 to $1,340,160 and total expenses increased 0.3%
from $846,096 to $848,665.  Minority interest in income of real estate joint
venture increased 24% from $41,810 to $51,824.  As a result, net income
increased 8.5% from $405,342 to $439,671 for the six month period ended June 30,
1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.  The increase in revenue is
primarily due to the increase in rental income as a result of higher unit rental
rates.  Operating expenses decreased approximately $3,300 (0.5%) due primarily
to a decrease in salaries and wages partially offset by an increase in real
estate tax expense.  The decrease in salaries and wages is primarily due to a
non-recurring termination payment to a facility manager in the prior year.
General and administrative expenses increased approximately $5,900 (4.6%) for
the same reason as discussed above.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased primarily as a result of higher rental revenue and
lower salaries and wage expense.

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.
