The most Important thing to find is Overlapping Sub problems, Its Identification alone suggests its a DP problem. But to identify that requires a lot of practice and patience. Try to solve some standard DP problems first like Knapsack, Coin -change, LIS, LCS etc. Then Try their modifications. Solve as many as you can.
