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 June 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 June 30, 1997, and 1996, total revenues
increased 0.8% from $626,049 to $630,789 and total expenses increased 13%
from $354,950 to $400,985.  As a result, net income decreased 15.3% from
from $271,399 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, to $229,804
for the same period in 1997.  The revenue increase can be primarily attributed
to an increase in rental income as a result of higher unit rental rates.
Operating expenses increased approximately $29,000 (9.4%) primarily due to
increases in yellow pages advertising costs, maintenance and repair expenses
and salaries and wages.  General and admministrative expenses increased
approximately $17,100 (36.2%) 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.   Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-
storage facilities averaged 85.8% for the three month period ended June 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 six month periods ended June 30, 1997, and 1996, total revenues
decreased 0.3% from $1,251,097 to $1,247,285 and total expenses increased
8.7% from $725,847 to $789,107. As a result, net income decreased 12.8% from
$525,250 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, to $458,178 for the same
period in 1997.  The reason for the decrease in revenues can be primarily
attributed to a decrease in late fees, partially offset by an increase in
rental income as a result of higher unit rental rates.  Operating expenses
increased approximately $50,500 (8.4%) primarily due to the same reasons as
discussed above.  General and adminstrative expenses increased approximately
$12,800 (10.4%) primarily due to the same reasons as discussed above.

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.
