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, 2004. 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, 2004 and 2003, total revenues
decreased 7.8% from $763,313 to $704,032, total expenses decreased 1.2% from
$449,020 to $443,710, other income decreased from $136 to $130 and minority
interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 16.3% from $38,184
to $31,941. As a result, net income decreased 17.3% from $276,245 to $228,511
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, as compared to the same
period in 2003. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to a decrease in
rental income due to lower occupancy rates. Occupancy levels for the Partner-
ship's six mini-storage facilities averaged 73.4% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2004 as compared to 78.9% for the same period in 2003. The
Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new tenants
in its various mini-storage facilities. Operating expenses remained constant
as decreases in maintenance and repair and property management fee expenses
was offset by increases in advertising, office supplies and salaries and wages
expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $5,500
(7.2%) primarily as a result of a decrease in equipment and computer lease
expense.

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 financial
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund IX, P.O. Box 357, Long
Beach, California 90801.

Very truly yours,

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX
