                                   (Unaudited)


Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of National Property Investors 6
(the "Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of the Managing General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1996,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to
the 1996 presentation.

Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on NPI Equity Investments,
Inc. ("NPI Equity" or the "Managing General Partner") and its affiliates for the
management and administration of all partnership activities.  The Partnership
Agreement provides for payments to affiliates for services and as reimbursement
of certain expenses incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.
  
The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
("Insignia"), National Property Investors, Inc. ("NPI"), and affiliates of NPI
were charged to expense in 1996 and 1995:

   in general and administrative expenses)                 64,000           96,000

</TABLE>

For the period from January 19, 1996, to March 31, 1996, the Partnership insured
its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the Managing General Partner.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner
acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from
an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the current
year's master policy.  The current agent assumed the financial obligations to
the affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received payments on these
obligations from the agent.  The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums
accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by
virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.


Note B - Transactions with Affiliated Parties (continued)

Included in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1995, are
insurance premiums of approximately $89,000 which were paid to the Managing
General Partner under a master insurance policy arranged for by the Managing
General Partner.

NPI Equity is the general partner of the Partnership.  NPI Equity is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of NPI.  

On August 17, 1995, the stockholders of NPI entered into an agreement to sell to
IFGP Corporation, a Delaware corporation, an affiliate of Insignia, a Delaware
corporation all of the issued and outstanding common stock of NPI for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  The closing of the transactions
contemplated by the above mentioned agreement (the "Closing") occurred on
January 19, 1996.      

Upon the Closing, the officers and directors of NPI and the Managing General
Partner resigned and IFGP Corporation caused new officers and directors of each
of those entities to be elected.

Note C - Tenant-In-Common Property

The Partnership currently owns The Village Apartments, as a tenant-in-common
with National Property Investors 5 ("NPI 5"), an affiliated public limited
partnership.  NPI 5 acquired a 24.028% undivided interest with the Partnership
owning the remaining 75.972 percent.  The property is accounted for using the
proportionate consolidation method.  The financial statements and supplementary
data reflect the Partnership's 75.972% proportionate share of historical cost of
this property.

Partnership's proportionate share of assets, liabilities and equity at March 31,
1996, and the condensed, combined statements of operations of The Village
apartments and the Partnership's proportionate share of revenues and expenses
for the periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, are summarized as follows:

(1) This property was purchased as a tenancy in common with National Property
Investors 5, an affiliated public partnership, which acquired a 24.028%
undivided interest, with the Partnership owning the remaining 75.972%.
 
The Managing General Partner attributes the decreases in occupancy at Rocky
Ridge and Alpine Village to layoffs at a large area corporation, and lower
interest rates which continue to encourage home purchases.  Occupancy decreased
at Place du Plantier and Fairway View Phase I as a result of new construction in
the Baton Rouge area.  In addition, construction of additional apartment
complexes is underway in this already competitive market.  The Village
experienced a decline in occupancy as a result of an extremely cold winter which
caused unusually high electric bills.  Tenant turnover increased due to tenants
moving to competing properties which offered gas heating.  Occupancy at The
Village is expected to improve in the spring as the weather becomes warmer. 
Despite the overall drop in occupancy at the Partnership's properties, rental
income at all of the properties, except The Village, increased as a result of
increases in rental rates.

The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was
approximately $417,000 compared to a net income of approximately $201,000 for
the corresponding period of 1995.  The increase in net income is partially due
to increased rental revenues as a result of rental rate increases at all
properties.  Also contributing to the increased net income was an increase in
other income due to increased interest income resulting from additional cash
reserves held by the Partnership.  In addition to increased revenues, a decrease
in and general and administrative expenses contributed to the increase in net 
income.  General and administrative expenses declined as a result of a decrease
in expense reimbursements to the General Partner in the first quarter of 1996.  

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rent, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expense.  As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect
the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by
increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level.  However, due
to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions
and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no
guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $6,544,000, as
compared to $3,291,000 at March 31, 1995.  Net cash provided by operating
activities increased primarily as a result of the increase in net income as
discussed above.  Also contributing to the increase in cash provided by
operating activities was an increase in prepayments of rent.  The increase in
cash used in investing activities is due to increased property improvements and
replacements in 1996.

The Managing General Partner has extended to the Partnership a $500,000 line of
credit.  As the present time, the Partnership has no outstanding amounts due
under this line of credit.  Based on present plans, the Managing General Partner
does not anticipate the need to borrow in the near future.  Other than cash and
cash equivalents, the line of credit is the Partnership's only unused source of
liquidity.
 
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the various properties to adequately maintain the
physical assets and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are
currently thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. 
The mortgage indebtedness of $24,627,000 matures at various times with balloon
payments due at maturity at which time the properties will either be refinanced
or sold.  Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of net cash
generated from operations, property sales, and the availability of cash
reserves.  No cash distributions were made in 1995 or during the first three
months 1996.  Currently the Managing General Partner is evaluating the
feasibility of a cash distribution of cash reserves in 1996.  At this time, it
appears that the original investment objective of capital growth from the
inception of the Partnership will not be attained and that investors will not
receive a return of all of their invested capital.
