This isn't a compromise, it punishes property owners at the expense of renters.Basically you took it up the butt, and they convinced you this was a "compromise".I'm going to go across every point of this and explain why it is very bad for landlords.- Landlords will be prohibited from raising rent more than 6% plus the “consumer price index” percentage for the West Region per year.

It all starts upstairs (Higher Power, and your mental alignment), then the physical manifestation.Keep kicking butt!

They paid way more than the properties' income could justify and hemorrhaged money for years before pulling the plug in a down market. 

We have it linked to our OwnerRez property management software which also plugs into Airbnb and VRBO.

I'll just keep plugging away.

So eventually you have to plug in real numbers. 

You just plug in all the numbers of your subject property, your terms, your tax bracket, anticipated rents, inflation, appreciation; it accounts for depreciation, appreciation & taxes and will give you an annual rate of return (& earnings for each year held) based on your investment that you can compare to other forms of investment.  

You can also factor in negative cash flows, losses and plug in different timing aspects, say a vacancy for a vacation rental in December and January, and have increases in your proforma during summer months when you know you'll be fully occupied.
