		QUARTERLY REPORT TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS
			OF DSI REALTY INCOME FUND VIII


DEAR LIMITED PARTNERS:

We  are  pleased  to  enclose  the  Partnership's  unaudited  financial
statements  for  the  period  ended  June 30, 1999.  The  following  is
Management's  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  Partnership's  financial
condition  and  results  of  its  operations.

For the  three  month  periods  ended  June 30, 1999 and 1998, total  revenues
decreased 4.6% (see note below regarding gain on sale of land) from $503,890
to $480,549 and total expenses increased 4.4% from $312,578 to $326,419.
Equity in income of the real estate joint venture increased 9.4% from $27,035
to $29,576.  As a result, net income decreased 15.7% from $218,347 to $183,706
for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period
in 1998.  Rental revenue increased as a result of higher unit rental rates.
Occupancy levels for the Partnership's five mini-storage facilities averaged
82.7% for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to 84.4% for
the same period in 1998.  The Partnership is continuing its marketing efforts
to attract and keep new tenants in its various mini-storage facilities.
Operating expenses increased approximately $16,400 (6.2%) primarily as a
result of higher yellow pages and miscellaneous advertising costs, repairs
and maintenance and security and alarm expenses, partially offset by lower
real estate tax expense.  General and administrative expenses decreased
approximately $2,600 (5.4%) primarily as a result of lower legal and
professional expense.  Equity in income from the real estate joint venture
increased primarily as a result of higher rental revenue.

For the six month  periods  ended  June 30, 1999, and 1998, total  revenues
increased 1.7% (see note below regarding gain on sale of land) from $953,035
to $969,240 and total expenses increased 6.3% from $637,194 to $677,620.
Equity in income of the real estate joint venture increased 6.6% from $51,824
to $55,225.  As a result, net income decreased 5.7% from $367,665 to $346,845
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in
1999, as compared to the same period in 1998..  Rental revenue increased as a
result of higher unit rental rates.  Operating expenses increased approximately
$46,200 (8.9%) primarily as a a result of increases in yellow pages and
miscellaneous advertising costs, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm
service expenses and property management fees.  Property management fees, which
are based on rental income, increased as a result of the increase in rental
revenue.  General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $5,800
(4.9%) primarily as a result of lower legal and professional expense.  Equity
in income from the real estate joint venture increased as a result of higher
rental revenue, partially offset by an increase in maintenance and repair
expense.

The  City of Stockton acquired 6,089 square feet or 5.4% of the Stockton
property in 1997.  In April 1998 the Partnership received $65,000 as
compensation for the acquisition.  A gain on sale of land was recorded in the
amount of $46,974, and the cost of land was reduced by $18,026.  Based on
operations since the acquisition, neither cash flow from nor the value of
the property appears materially impaired.

The  General  Partners will  continue  their  policy of funding improvements
and  maintenance  of  Partnership  properties  with  cash  generated  from
operations.  The  Partnership's  financial resources  appear  to  be  adequate
to meet its needs. The General Partners anticipate distributions to the Limited
Partners  to  remain  at  the  current  level  for  the  foreseeable  future.

The Year 2000 issue refers to the inability of certain computer systems to
recognize a date using "00" as the Year 2000.  The Partnership has implemented
a Year 2000 program, which has three phases: (1) identification; (2)
remediation; and (3) testing and verification.  The Partnership, as well as
the property management company and the Partnership's warehouse facilities
have completed those phases.  Computer programs have been upgraded and tested
to function properly with respect to the dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter.
Year 2000 compliance costs are nominal and have been expensed in the regular
course of business.  The Partnership provides no assurance that third-party
suppliers and customers will be compliant.  Nevertheless, the Partnership does
not believe that the Year 2000 issue will have a material adverse effect on
its financial condition or results of operations.

We are not enclosing a copy of the Partnership Form 10-Q as filed with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission since all the information set forth
therein is contained  either in  this  letter or in the attached financial
statements. However, if you wish to receive a copy of said report, please
send a written request to DSI Realty Income Fund VIII, P.O. Box 357, Long
Beach, California 90801.

                              Very truly yours,
