		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, 2000.  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, 2000 and 1999, total revenues
decreased 0.8% from $708,343 to $702,514 and total expenses decreased 3.7%
from $490,804 to $472,822.  Minority interest in income of real estate
joint venture increased 25.5% from $25,649 to $32,189.  As a result, net
income increased 2.9% from $191,890 to $197,503 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999.  The decrease
in revenue can be attributed to a decrease in rental income due to lower
occupancy levels, partially offset by higher unit rental rates.  Occupancy
levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged 79.4% for
the three month period ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 83.3% for the
same period in 1999.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts
to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.
Operating expenses decreased by approximately $21,300 (5.1%) primarily as
a result of decreases in maintenance and repair, workers compensation
insurance and power and sweeping expenses, partially offset by increases
in yellow pages advertising costs and salaries and wages expense.  Power
and sweeping expenses decreased as the substantial snow removal costs
in the prior year associated with the blizzard that hit Illinois, where
two of the Partnership's properties are located did not materialize in the
current year.  General and administrative expenses remained relatively
constant.

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
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
