I’m looking for a way to validate a number of property addresses and clean them up to be searched for in a list of addresses we have. We have many people send in requests to get funds from their loan for fix and flip properties and I need to notify them that they were received. The address is user inputted and does not always match our records 100%. Such as:

Borrower input:
123 N Man St., Tx
Our record:
123 North Main Street, Dallas, Texas

There could be typos or simplified naming in the input.

Is there a Python module or package to take this string and clean it up to be searched for in a list of addresses? I need them to find the borrower email in the list to send them a notification that the request has been received. I have everything figured out except for how to clean up the address and/or validate that it is real.

Would love some help or advice!
