Ladies and Gentlemen:

       I am writing on behalf of DSI Realty Income Fund IX, a California
Limited Partnership, in response to a letter of comment from the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Staff") which was dated December 12,
2007 (the "Staff Letter").

       DSI Realty Income Fund IX acknowledges that:

* DSI Realty Income Fund IX is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of
the disclosure in the filing;
* Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not
foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filings;
and
* DSI Realty Income Fund IX may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal secur-
ities laws of the United States.

We appreciate the Staff's guidance and will proceed with the filing of our
10-K/As. Please direct these comments and/or any questions you may have to me
or Richard P. Conway, SVP at (562) 493-3022.

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert J. Conway
