It is very easy to end up with a negative cash flow. You may invest in a property that doesn't bring you any profits. This will mean that, you will be spending money without making any money.

This is a big risk in real estate investments especially since there are no guarantees. You may get rental properties but fail to get tenants for instance.

One way to cope with this issue is to be patient. You may have negative cash flows when you are starting out but like any other business, this may change with time.

Alternatively, if you realize that you aren't making any money from the property, you should definitely consider selling it.
