PART I

Item l. BUSINESS

Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund IX (the "Partnership") is a
publicly-held limited partnership organized under the California Uniform Limited
Partnership Act pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership
(hereinafter referred to as "Agreement") dated March 6, 1985, as amended and
restated to November 1, 1985. The General Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a
California corporation, Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway, brothers. The
General Partners are affiliates of Diversified Securities, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of DSI Financial, Inc. The General Partners provide similar services
to other partnerships. Through its public offering of Limited Partnership Units,
Registrant sold thirty thousand six hundred ninety-three (30,693) units of
limited partnership interests aggregating Fifteen Million Three Hundred
Forty-Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($15,346,500) The General Partners have
retained a one percent (l%) interest in all profits, losses and distributions
(subject to certain conditions) without making any capital contribution to the
Partnership. The General Partners are not required to make any capital
contributions to the Partnership in the future. Registrant is engaged in the
business of investing in and operating mini-storage facilities with the primary
objectives of generating, for its partners, cash flow, capital appreciation of
its properties, and obtaining federal income tax deductions so that during the
early years of operations, all or a portion of such distributable cash may not
represent taxable income to its partners. Funds obtained by Registrant during
the public offering period of its units were used to acquire five mini-storage
facilities, as well as a joint venture interest with an affiliated Partnership
(DSI Realty Income Fund VIII, a California Limited Partnership) in which the
Partnership has a 70% interest in a mini-storage facility located in Aurora,
Colorado. Registrant does not intend to sell additional limited partnership
units. The term of the Partnership is fifty years but it is anticipated that
Registrant will sell and/or refinance its properties prior to the termination of
the Partnership. The Partnership is intended to be self-liquidating and it is
not intended that proceeds from the sale or refinancing of its operating
properties will be reinvested. Registrant has no full time employees but shares
one or more employees with other publicly-held limited partnerships sponsored by
the General Partners. The General Partners are vested with authority as to the
general management and supervision of the business and affairs of Registrant.
Limited Partners have no right to participate in the management or conduct of
such business and affairs. An independent management company has been retained
to provide day-to-day management services with respect to all of the
Partnership's investment properties.

Average occupancy levels for each of the Partnership's properties for the
years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are as follows:

Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Level for the
Year Ended Year Ended
Dec. 31, 1995 Dec. 31, 1994

Azusa, CA 85% 75%

Elgin, IL 85% 81%

Everett, WA 84% 81%

Monterey Park, CA 86% 84%

Romeoville, IL 82% 85%

Aurora, CO* 89% 83%

*The Partnership owns a 70% interest in this facility.

The business in which the Partnership is engaged is highly competitive.
Each of its mini-storage facilities is located in or near a major urban area,
and accordingly, competes with a significant number of individuals and
organizations with respect to both the purchase and sale of its properties and
for rentals. Generally, Registrant's business is not affected by the change in
seasons.



Item 2. PROPERTIES

Registrant owns a fee interest in five mini-storage facilities, as well as
a 70% interest in a joint venture with an affiliated partnership (DSI Realty
Income Fund VIII, a California Limited Partnership) which joint venture owns a
mini-storage facility, none of which are subject to long-term indebtedness. The
following table sets forth information as of December 31, 1995 regarding
properties owned by the Partnership.

owns a 30% fee interest in this facility.

Registrant is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

PART II

Item 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Registrant, a publicly-held limited partnership, sold 30,693 limited
partnership units during its offering and currently has 1,365 limited partners
of record. There is no intention to sell additional limited partnership units
nor is there a market for these units.

Average cash distributions of $9.06 per Limited Partnership Unit were
declared and paid each quarter for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $8.75
per Limited Partnership Unit for the year ended December 31, 1994. It is

future.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1995 COMPARED TO 1994

Total revenues increased from $2,312,201 in 1994 to $2,484,242 in 1995,
total expenses increased from $1,520,382 to $1,563,848 and minority interest in
income of the real estate joint venture increased from $93,634 to $116,421. As a
result of these fluctuations, net income increased from $698,185 in 1994 to
$803,973 in 1995. The increase in rental revenues can be attributed to a
combination of higher occupancy and unit rental rates. Average occupancy levels
for the Partnership's six mini-storage facilities increased from 81.5% for the
year ended December 31, 1994, to 85.2% for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
Partnership continued to increase rental rates where market conditions made such
increases feasible. The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to
attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The
increase in operating expenses of approximately $22,000 (3.6%) was primarily due
to increases in maintenance and repairs and salaries and wages partially offset
by a decrease in yellow page advertising costs. General and administrative
expenses increased by approximately $8,000 (3.5%) primarily as a result of
higher property management fees. Property management fees, which are based on
rental income, increased as a result of the increase in rental income. The
amount of income from the Partnership's real estate joint venture allocated to
the minority partner increased due to the increased profitability of the joint
venture.

1994 COMPARED TO 1993

Total revenues decreased slightly from $2,315,457 in 1993 to $2,312,201 in
1994, total expenses decreased from $1,552,502 to $1,520,382 and minority
interest in income of the real estate joint venture increased from $88,765 to
$93,634. As a result of these fluctuations, net income increased from $674,190
in 1993 to $698,185 in 1994. The slight decrease in rental revenues can be
attributed to a combination of lower occupancy rates offset to some extent by
higher unit rental rates. Average occupancy levels for the Partnership's six
mini-storage facilities decreased from 84.2% for the year ended December 31,
1993, to 81.5% for the year ended December 31, 1994. The Partnership continued
to increase rental rates where market conditions made such increases feasible.
The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts to attract and keep new
tenants in its various mini-storage facilities. The decrease in operating
expenses of approximately $41,000 (6.3%) was primarily due to decreases in
maintenance and repair, salaries and wages, workers' compensation insurance
expenses and yellow page advertising costs offset to some extent by an increase
in real estate tax expense. General and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $9,000 (4.2%) primarily as a result of higher professional fees.
The amount of income from the Partnership's real estate joint venture allocated
to the minority partner increased due to the increased profitability of the
joint venture.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $158,000
(11.9%) in 1995 compared to 1994 primarily as a result of the increase in net
income and the reduction in the amount paid for deferred property management
fees. Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $118,000
(9.7%) in 1994 compared to 1993 primarily as a result of the increase in net
income and the reduction in the amount paid for deferred property management and
General Partners' incentive management fees. Payment of a portion of the
property management and General Partners' incentive management fees had been
deferred in prior years in order to maximize cash available for distribution to
Limited Partners.

Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has been used for distributions to partners and the minority interest in
the Partnership's real estate joint venture. The General Partners determined
that effective with the fourth quarter 1995 distribution, which was paid on
January 15, 1996, distributions to the limited partners would be increased to an
amount which yields an 8% annual return on the capital contributed by the
limited partners from annual return of 7% paid in the prior year. Distributions
paid to the minority interest in the Partnership's real estate joint venture
have increased each year as a result of the increased profitability of the joint
venture.

Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, consists of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's mini-storage
facilities in 1994 and 1995. The Partnership has no material commitments for
capital expenditures.

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 for the next twelve months.

The General Partners are not aware of any environmental problems which
could have a material adverse effect upon the financial position of the
Partnership.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
DSI Realty Income Fund IX:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund IX, a
California Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, changes in partners'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund IX
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

DSI REALTY INCOME FUND IX
(A California Real Estate Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund IX, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), has three general partners (DSI Properties, Inc.,
Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway) and limited partners owning 30,693
limited partnership units which were purchased for $500 a unit. The
general partners have made no contribution to the Partnership and are not
required to make any capital contribution in the future. The Partnership
has a maximum life of 50 years and was formed on April 12, 1985 under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of
acquiring and operating real estate.

The Partnership owns five mini-storage facilities located in Monterey
Park and Azusa, California; Everett, Washington; and Romeoville and Elgin,
Illinois. The Partnership also entered into a joint venture with DSI
Realty Income Fund VIII through which the Partnership has a 70% interest
in a mini-storage facility in Aurora, Colorado. The facilities were
acquired from Dahn Corporation ("Dahn"). Dahn is not affiliated with the
Partnership. Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which DSI
Properties, Inc., Robert J. Conway and Joseph W. Conway are the general
partners. The mini-storage facilities are operated for the Partnership
by Dahn under various agreements which are subject to renewal annually.
Under the terms of the agreements, the Partnership is required to pay
Dahn a property management fee equal to 5% of gross revenue from
operations, as defined.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of DSI Realty Income Fund IX and its 70% owned real
estate joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and trans-
actions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Partnership classifies its short-term
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less as
cash equivalents.

Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited
partnership unit is computed by dividing the net income allocated to the
limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership
units outstanding during each year (30,693 in 1995, 1994 and 1993).

Property and Depreciation - Property is recorded at cost and is comprised
primarily of mini-storage facilities. Depreciation is provided for using
the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 20 years for the
facilities.

Income Taxes - No provision has been made for income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements. The taxable income or loss of the
Partnership is allocated to each partner in accordance with the terms of
the Agreement of Limited Partnership. Each partner's tax status, in turn,
determines the appropriate income tax for its allocated share of the
Partnership taxable income or loss.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Partnership to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

3. PROPERTY

As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the total cost of property and
accumulated depreciation are as follows:

1995 1994
Land $ 2,729,790 $ 2,729,790
Buildings and improvements 10,969,667 10,927,789
----------- -----------

Total 13,699,457 13,657,579
Less accumulated depreciation (5,680,967) (5,083,294)
----------- ----------

Property, net $ 8,018,490 $ 8,574,285
=========== ===========

4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be
allocated 1% of the net profits or losses from operations and the limited
partners are to be allocated the balance of the net profits or losses from
operations in proportion to their limited partnership interests. The
general partners are also entitled to receive a percentage, based on a
predetermined formula, of any cash distribution from the sale, other
disposition, or refinancing of the project.

The general partners are entitled to receive an incentive management fee
for supervising the operations of the Partnership. The fee is to be paid in
an amount equal to 9% per annum of Partnership distributions made from
cash available for distribution from operations, as defined. Payment of
incentive management fees earned by the general partners during the fiscal
years 1986 through 1988 was subordinated to the limited partners' receiving
a cumulative, noncompounded annual return of 8.1%. Incentive management
fees payable to general partners is $314,604 at December 31, 1995 and
1994.

To the Partners of
DSI Realty Income Fund IX:

We have audited the financial statements of DSI Realty Income Fund IX (the
"Partnership") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for each of the three years

January 31, 1996; such report is included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Our
