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


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We are pleased to enclose the Partnership's unaudited financial
statements for the period ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2004 and 2003, total
revenues decreased 6.2% from $704,751 to $661,370 and total expenses decreased
9.3% from $488,141 to $442,657 and other income remained constant. Minority
interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 4.7% from $30,124
to $28,698. As a result, net income increased 1.9% from $186,617 to $190,146
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the same
period in 2003. Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower occupancy rates.
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities averaged
73.5% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 78.3%
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 increased approximately $32,800 (8.9%) due primarily to an
increase in maintenance and repair, security and alarm services and bank and
credit card fee expenses, partially offset by a decrease in property manage-
ment fee expense. Property management fees, which are based on rental revenue
decreased as a result of the decrease in rental revenue. General and admin-
istrative expenses decreased approximately $78,300 (65.2%) primarily as a
result of a decrease in legal and professional expense. The decrease in legal
and professional expense is related to unsuccessful legal challenges by two
dissident Limited Partners to an amendment to the Partnership Agreement.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased as a result
of lower rental revenue at that facility.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004, and 2003, total revenues
decreased 7.8% from $2,182,906 to $2,011,819 and total expenses decreased 1.4%
from $1,384,727 to $1,365,725 and other income increased from $378 to $391.
Minority interest in income of real estate joint venture decreased 11.9% from
$99,813 to $87,923. As a result, net income decreased 20.1% from $698,744 to
$558,562 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the
same period in 2003. Rental revenue decreased as a result of lower occupancy
rates. Operating expenses increased approximately $57,500 (5.1%) due primarily
to increases in advertising, maintenance and repair, office supplies, security
and alarm services and bank and credit card fee expenses, partially offset by
decreases in property management fee medical insurance expenses. The decrease
in property management fees was discussed above. General and administrative
expenses decreased approximately $76,500 (29.0%) primarily as result of a de-
crease in legal and professional expense. The decrease in legal and pro-
fessional expense was discussed above. Minority interest in income of real
estate joint venture decreased 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 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,
