You own the airplane and have hired a pilot/CFI. This is
not a "for hire "operation. However if you allow the CFI to
sell instruction to other people in your airplane you need
the 100 inspections.

Also, renting an airplane to even a student pilot is not a
"for hire" operation and the airplane does not need the 100
inspection.

no person may

crewmember) for hire,

aircraft which that
