The Name · The Foundation
"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer."
Psalm 18:2 · YHWH Tsuri
Tsuri Capital Partners, Inc. is named after a covenant declaration, not a corporate convenience. Every structure we build, every underwriting decision we make, and every commitment we extend to our investors flows from that foundation. It is not a tagline. It is the standard we are held to.
How We Work
Value-add multifamily in the DMV. We acquire underperforming apartment communities in supply-constrained submarkets, execute operational improvements, and create forced appreciation while preserving cash flow stability.
Value-Add MultifamilyLP-first structures mean investors receive their preferred return and full return of capital before the GP participates in profits. Our interests are completely aligned with yours. Specific return targets and structures are disclosed in the offering documents for each deal.
LP-First StructureWe underwrote and competed on over $910M in DMV multifamily acquisitions between 2023 and 2025. None closed — in every case, the winning bid exceeded what our underwriting supported. That discipline is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Disciplined UnderwritingThe DMV Advantage
The Washington–Baltimore corridor is one of the most supply-constrained multifamily markets in the country. Federal employment anchors demand. Population density limits new supply. Rents remain resilient through cycles.
Al Avant has operated in this market for over two decades — through the 2007–2009 foreclosure crisis, through rate cycles, through the pandemic disruption. That local knowledge is not a marketing credential. It is operational infrastructure.
"I was in this market during the foreclosure years. Seven closings between 2007 and 2009, sitting across from families losing their homes. I wasn't doing volume — I had a full-time engineering job. But I saw exactly what happens when somebody underwrites on optimism. That's where this discipline came from."
— Al Avant, Founder & Principal
Current Positioning
Garden-style and mid-rise apartment communities in supply-constrained suburban submarkets across the Mid-Atlantic. Value-add repositioning creates forced appreciation alongside stable cash flow.
Primary focus: Baltimore County and broader DMV metro — submarkets with above-average rent growth and occupancy fundamentals.
Strategically positioned commercial assets in DMV submarkets with strong employment fundamentals, providing portfolio diversification and additional income streams alongside residential holdings.
Portfolio diversification across asset classes reduces concentration risk and provides multiple paths to investor returns across market cycles.
Founder & Principal
Tsuri Capital Partners, Inc.
Al Avant is a U.S. Navy veteran, 34-year Principal Network Engineer and Architect, and the Founder and Principal of Tsuri Capital Partners, Inc. He spent eight years in the Navy working on avionics and aircraft electrical systems. He spent the next three decades designing enterprise and mission-critical infrastructure across the Washington DC Metro area.
His real estate experience began with a Maryland brokerage license and 15 closed transactions between 2007 and 2020 — seven of them during the foreclosure crisis. That was not volume. It was formation. He saw firsthand what optimistic underwriting costs families.
Over the following years, Al completed four years of direct institutional mentorship under a team managing a large-scale multifamily platform — earning certifications in CRE financial modeling, asset management, and equity analysis. He built the underwriting discipline at Tsuri on that foundation.
He has been in active ministry for 27 years — 18 as a founding member of Life International of Maryland, and as co-founder of Delivered Life Ministries with his wife Lori Avant since 2018. Tsuri Capital is the business expression of the same covenant.
The entity is new. The operator is not. Military discipline, 34 years of enterprise infrastructure, crisis-era market experience, and underwriting discipline proven by what we declined to buy.
