                                    (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 NPI Equity Investments, Inc. ("NPI Equity" or 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1997.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to
the 1997 presentation.

NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on 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.

Pursuant to a series of transactions which closed during 1996, affiliates of
Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia") acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of stock of NPI Equity and National Property Investors, Inc.
("NPI").  In connection with these transactions, affiliates of Insignia
appointed new officers and directors of NPI Equity and NPI.

The following transactions with affiliates of Insignia, NPI, and affiliates of
NPI were incurred in the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):

<S>                                                         <C>              <C>
Property management fees (included in operating
  expenses)                                                  $334             $345
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included in
  general and administrative and operating expenses)          120              158
</TABLE>

For services relating to the administration of the Partnership and operation of
partnership properties, the Managing General Partner is entitled to receive
payment for non-accountable expenses up to a maximum of $150,000 per year, based
upon the number of Partnership units sold, subject to certain limitations.  The
Managing General Partner was entitled to receive $150,000 in 1996.  The
Partnership accrued such fees in 1996 and paid these fees in January 1997.

For the period of January 19, 1996, to June 30, 1997, 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 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%.  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.

The condensed, combined balance sheets of The Village Apartments and the
Partnership's proportionate share of assets, liabilities and equity at June 30,
1997, and the condensed, combined statements of operations of The Village
Apartments and the Partnership's proportionate share of revenues and expenses
for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, are summarized
as follows:

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership's investment properties consist of seven apartment complexes.
The following table sets forth the average occupancy of the properties for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996:

                                                   Average
                                                  Occupancy

Alpine Village Apartments
  Birmingham, Alabama                        94%             92%

The Village Apartments (1)
  Voorhees, New Jersey                       94%             93%

(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 decrease in occupancy at Panorama
Terrace II to construction of 1,600 new apartment units in the Birmingham area.
Management is currently developing plans which it believes will make Panorama
Terrace II more competitive in the Birmingham market.  Occupancy decreased at
Colony at Kenilworth as a result of the loss of approximately 40 corporate units
that were leased to visiting faculty.

The Partnership's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, was
approximately $383,000 compared to a net income of approximately $711,000 for
the corresponding period of 1996. The net income for the three months ended June
30, 1997, was approximately $64,000 compared to approximately $294,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in net income for the six month
period is primarily due to an increase in interest expense and a decrease in
rental income. Interest expense increased as a result of the financing of Ski
Lodge Apartments in 1996.  Prior to the financing the property did not have any
debt encumbering the property.  Rental income for the six month period decreased
as a result of significant decreases in occupancy at Colony at Kenilworth and
Panorama Terrace II, as discussed above. Partially offsetting the decrease in
rental income was a decrease in general and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. General and administrative expenses decreased
primarily due to increased expense reimbursements in 1996, related to the costs
incurred in connection with the transition and relocation of the administrative
offices during the first half of 1996.

Included in operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997, is
approximately $142,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of
exterior building repairs, major landscaping and swimming pool repairs.
Included in operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is
approximately $149,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised primarily of
interior and exterior building repairs and major landscaping.

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 June 30, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $5,295,000,
as compared to $7,425,000 at June 30, 1996.  Net cash provided by operating
activities decreased primarily as a result of decreases in accounts payable and
other liabilities related to the timing of payments. The increase in cash used
in investing activities is due to increased property improvements and
replacements and deposits to restricted escrows, which were established on
properties refinanced in 1996.  The increase in cash used in financing
activities is due primarily to the $10,621,000 distribution to partners which
was declared in 1996 and paid in January 1997.

The Managing General Partner has extended to the Partnership a $500,000 line of
credit.  At 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 $34,481,000 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, refinancings, and the availability of
cash reserves.  In January 1997, the Partnership distributed $10,621,000.  This
distribution was declared in December 1996 and it primarily represented net
proceeds received from property refinancings in 1996.  The distribution also
included some cash from operations. No other distributions were made in 1996 or
1997.  Currently, the Managing General Partner is evaluating the feasibility of
a cash distribution from cash reserves in August 1997.
