PART I

Item l. BUSINESS

Registrant, DSI Realty Income Fund VI (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 August 1, 1983. The General
Partners are DSI Properties, Inc., a California corporation, Diversified
Investors Agency, a general partnership, whose current partners are 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 twenty-three
thousand seven hundred fifty-three (23,753) units of limited partnership
interests aggregating Eleven Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Six Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($11,876,500). 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 seven mini-storage facilities.
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.

The average occupancy levels for each of the Partnership's seven properties
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were as follows:

Location of Property Average Occupancy Average Occupancy
Level for the Year Level for the Year
Ended Dec. 31, 2000 Ended Dec. 31, 1999

Vallejo, California 93% 91%

Santa Rosa, California
(both stages) 87% 86%

Arvada, Colorado 86% 87%

Las Vegas, Nevada 86% 79%

Federal Heights, Colorado 87% 85%

Colorado Springs, Colorado 87% 82%

Please refer to the discussion appearing elsewhere herein under the caption
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for a detailed analysis of the results of operations of the
Partnership's properties.

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 seven mini-storage facilities, none of
which are subject to long-term indebtedness. Please refer to the discussion
under Business for a discussion of the average occupancy rate for each property
owned by the Partnership. The following table sets forth information as of

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2000 COMPARED TO 1999

Total revenues increased from $2,877,374 in 1999 to $3,109,493 in 2000,
while total expenses increased from $1,619,474 to $1,742,859 and other income
increased from $10,346 to $12,118, resulting in an increase in net income from
$1,268,246 to $1,378,752. Rental revenues increased as a result of higher
occupancy and unit rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Parntership's seven
mini-storage facilities averaged 88.0% for the year 2000 as compared to 85.1%
for 1999. The increase in operating expenses of approximately $36,200 (5.0%)
was due primarily to increases in repairs and maintenance, salaries and wages
and workers compensation insurance expenses, partially offfset by a decrease
in yellow pages advertising costs. General and administrative expenses re-
mained relatively constant. The General Partners' incentive management fee
which is based on cash available for distribution, increased as a result of
the increase in net income. Property management fees, which are based on
revenues, increased as a result of the increase in rental revenue.

1999 COMPARED TO 1998

Total revenues increased from $2,760,387 in 1998 to $2,877,374 in 1999,
while total expenses increased from $1,551,834 to $1,619,474 and other income
decreased from $18,357 to $10,346, resulting in an increase in net income from
$1,226,910 to $1,268,246. Rental revenues increased as a result of higher unit
rental rates. Occupancy levels for the Partnership's seven mini-storage facil-
ities averaged 85.1% for the year 1999 as compared to 86.2% for 1998. The in-
crease in operating expenses of approximately $47,400 (6.9%) was due primarily
to increases in yellow pages advertising costs, real estate tax and security
alarm services expenses, partially offset by a decrease in repairs and main-
tenance expense. General and administrative expenses increased approximately
$9,100 (7.0%) primarily as a result of an increase in office supplies and
printing expense. The General Partners' incentive management fee which is
based on cash available for distribution, increased as a result of the increase
in net income. Property management fees, which are based on revenues, increased
as a result of the increase in rental revenue.

Operating expenses consists mainly of expenses such as yellow pages and other
advertising, utilities, repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, salaries
and wages and their related expenses. General and administrative expenses
consists mainly of expenses such as legal and professional, office suplies,
postage, accounting services and computer expenses.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately
$176,400 (10.5%) in 2000 compared to 1999 primarily due to the increase in net
income, depreciation and other liabilities, partially offset by an increase in
other assets. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by approxi-
mately $57,700 (3.5%) in 1999 compared to 1998 primarily due to the increase in
net income.

Cash used in financing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has consisted solely of cash distributions to partners. Special
distributions of 6%, 4% and 4% were declared and paid on December 15, 2000,
1999, and 1998 respectively.

Cash used in investing activities, as set forth in the statements of cash
flows, has consisted solely of acquisitions of equipment for the Partnership's
mini storage properties. 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 anticipates that cash flows generated
from operations of the Partnership's rental real estate operations will be
sufficient to cover operating expenses and distribtuions for the next twelve
months and beyond.

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 VI:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of DSI Realty Income Fund VI, a
California Real Estate Limited Partnership(the "Partnership") as of December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the related statements of income, changes in partners'
equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 14. 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 in the
United States of America. 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 estimates, 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund VI at December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also
in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000


1. GENERAL

DSI Realty Income Fund VI, a California Real Estate Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), has two general partners (DSI Properties, Inc. and
Diversified Investors Agency) and limited partners owning 23,753 limited
partnership units, which were purchased for $500 a unit. The general
partners have made no capital 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 March 27, 1981 under the
California Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of
acquiring and operating real estate.

The Partnership owns seven mini-storage facilities located in Vallejo,
California; Arvada, Federal Heights and Colorado Springs, Colorado; Las
Vegas, Nevada and two in Santa Rosa, California. All facilities were
purchased from Dahn Corporation ("Dahn"). Dahn is not affiliated with the
Partnership. Dahn is affiliated with other partnerships in which DSI
Properties, Inc. is a general partner. The mini-storage facilities are
operated for the Partnership by Dahn under various agreements that are
subject to renewal annually. Under the terms of the agreements, the
Partnership is required to pay Dahn a property management fee equal to six
percent of gross revenue from operations, defined as the entire amount
of all receipts from the renting or leasing of storage compartments and
sale of locks.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Property and Depreciation - Property is recorded at cost and is composed
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. Building improvements are depreciated over a five year period.

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's taxable income or loss. The net difference between the basis
of the Partnership's assets and liabilities for federal income tax purposes
and as reported for financial statement purposes is $998,183.

Revenues - Rental revenue is recognized using the accrual method based
on contractual amounts provided for in the lease agreements, which
approximates recognition on a straight-line basis. The term of the lease
agreements is usually less than one year.

Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited
partnership unit is computed by dividing net income allocated to the
limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership
units outstanding during each year (23,753 in 2000, 1999, and 1998).

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Partnership regularly reviews long-
lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
If the sum of the expected future cash flow is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, the Partnership recognizes an impairment. No
impairment losses were required in 2000, 1999 or 1998.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Partnership's financial
instruments consist primarily of cash, receivables, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities. The carrying values of all financial instruments are
representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily
of cash equivalents and rent receivables. The Partnership places its cash
equivalents with high credit quality institutions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 1999, the Securities and
Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101")
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The adoption of SAB 101
did not impact the financial statements.


3. PROPERTY
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the total cost of property and accumulated
depreciation are as follows:

2000 1999
Land $ 1,759,000 $ 1,759,000
Buildings and improvements 8,576,735 8,528,266
----------- -----------

Total 10,335,735 10,287,266
Less accumulated depreciation (7,580,584) (7,110,979)
----------- ----------

Property, net $ 2,755,151 $ 3,176,287
=========== ===========

4. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

Under the Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partners are to be
allocated one percent of the net profits or losses from operations, and the
limited partners are to be allocated the balance of the net profits or loss
es 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.

In addition, 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 nine percent per annum of the cash
available for distribution on a cumulative basis, calculated as cash gen-
erated from operations less capital expenditures.


5. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The following disclosure about segment reporting of the Partnership is
made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Partnership
operates under a single segment; storage facility operations, under which
the Partnership rents its storage facilities to its customers on a need
basis and charges rent on a predetermined rate.



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

We have audited the financial statements of DSI Realty Income Fund VI (the
"Partnership") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of
income, changes in partners' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. 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 financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of DSI Realty Income Fund VI at December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
