		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  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 3.2% from $639,561 to $659,862 and total expenses decreased
0.7% from $416,755 to $413,659.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased 23.7% from $20,046 to $24,788.  As a result, net income
increased 9.2% from $202,760 to $221,415 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.  The increase in
revenue can be attributed to an increase in rental income due to higher unit
rental rates.  Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage
facilities averaged 81.2% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to 85.6% 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 by approximately $4,600
(1.3%) primarily as a result of a decrease in salaries and wages.  General and
administrative expenses remained constant.  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 the continuing 
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
