Can I do a 1031 exchange in such a way that the funds in escrow are used to purchase multiple properties?

No. But you can use multiple properties to purchase one. Its exactly like monopoly.
I didn't really even consider taxes when I started doing this. Bought it for $23k, put in about another $30k, and probably selling for around $140k. How boned will I be if I don't do 1031? Also, can a 1031 be used to sell a single family home and buy a multi family or apartment? Assuming the original house was always an investment property.

Yes

If you are trying to stay investing in real estate the 1031 is your only viable option. You can buy almost any type of real estate with the funds.

Don't 1031s apply to investment properties?
