What are the rules nowadays for getting your CFI? Is a commercial
rating required before you can become a CFI? I imagine it is, since
you're "flying for hire"...?


A flight instructor certificate requires either a commercial pilot or
airline transport pilot certificate. You're only flying for hire if
you charge for your instruction.



I know you *used* to be able to get your CFI without an instrument
rating, but I understand that is no longer allowed, right?


Right.




Don't know how much it really applies here, but it's interesting that
you CAN get a Sport Pilot Instructor Cert without either a Commercial or
ATP.
