A Section 1031 exchange is a way for owners of investment real estate to sell their real property and buy other "like-kind" real property while deferring Federal and State capital gains taxes.
The like-kind exchange is tax-deferred, not tax-free.
But, by deferring the tax you have more money available to invest in another property.
In effect, you receive an interest-free loan from the federal government, in the amount you would have paid in taxes.
You can use Section 1031 as many times as you would like, for as long as you like.
